Biden Accuses Congress Of Opening Door To New Covid-19 Risk

WHITE HOUSE

Biden has delivered remarks at the White House on the current state of the Covid-19 response and used the platform to urge Congress to approve more Covid-19 relief funds.

  • Biden: 'Covid is not over but it no longer controls our lives.' He continued, 'America now has the tools to protect all people. Today I am announcing www.covid.gov where anyone in America can find the tools to navigate the virus.'
  • Biden uses the remarks to claim that his administration cut the deficit and added jobs to the economy though a robust response to the pandemic.
  • Biden: 'But now just as we have reached the critical turning point in this fight Congress has to provide the funding America needs to continue the fight.'
  • Biden: ''We're already seeing the consequences of Congressional inaction.'
  • Biden says without more funding the US will run out of key Covid-19 supplies by May.
  • Biden concludes the presser by receiving his second booster vaccine on stage.
