Will Biden actually have a phone call with Trump?
Will former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump really talk on the phone?
The presumptive Democratic nominee’s campaign offered earlier this week to speak with the president about the government’s strategy to combat the coronavirus outbreak. President Trump, in turn, told reporters on Wednesday that he would “absolutely take his call.”
Biden said he wants to talk to the president about the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic, and during a virtual press conference he mentioned the nation's need for fourth phase of a bailout package to help ease American workers and businesses.
"There is no possibility that the moneys that provided to get this under control to are enough to deal with the aftermath, both economically and in terms of the health of the country. We need to do more," said Biden. "Which is what I am going to talk to the president about if he takes my call, if he takes my call, if that gets set up."
The idea for the call came after Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway asked during a TV interview why Biden doesn’t “call the White House today and offer some support?”
"I find it petty and partisan and completely unhelpful to the American population to have a former vice president, who was here for eight years, in his bunker in Wilmington just lobbing criticisms, reading from prepared notes and not that well," Conway said.
"The best I can do from my position is to lay out what I think should be done, how to do it, and when it's not being done, say why the experts say, 'This is what we should be doing. Let's do it,' " Biden said in an interview Monday on MSNBC.
However, some political advisors say that a call is a bad idea doubt that it will happen.
“Is that a serious thing?” one GOP Hill aide told the Daily Beast. “It would just be two guys talking past each other. What would be the point?”
