Biden says he will broadcast regular coronavirus briefings
By Jonathan Easley - 03/22/20 07:44 PM EDT
Former Vice President Joe Biden said Sunday he will begin broadcasting regular briefings about the coronavirus pandemic from his home in Delaware, following criticism from some on the left that he’s been absent as the public health crisis has escalated.
During a tele-fundraiser on Sunday, a donor told Biden that he wanted to see the former vice president cut a more public profile when it comes to the government's coronavirus response.
“I would just love to see you more,†the donor told Biden. “Like, how do we get more of you and less of [President Trump] on our airwaves?â€
Biden said that his campaign team is installing a “new high speed line†into his home and that they are turning a recreation room into a television studio so that he can broadcast from home at a time when government officials are asking people to stay indoors.
Biden said he expected to address voters from his home on Monday at 11:30 a.m. EST.
