Biden And Trump Speak By Phone On Virus Response

USA Today reports:



President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden spoke over the phone on Monday about the coronavirus response, days after Trump said he would “absolutely” take Biden’s call, according to a source familiar with the call.

Earlier in the afternoon, the president criticized Biden in a tweet, saying “what ever happened to that phone call he told the Fake News he wanted to make to me.”

The Biden campaign had reached out to the White House Monday following the tweet, a Biden aide said earlier. The aide noted the campaign had not heard from the White House about setting up a call earlier. The White House did not respond to request for comment.
