Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Skip Out on Weekly Governor COVID Meetings, Allow Their ‘Gold Standard’ Governor to Lead Instead

President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have failed to attend any of the weekly gubernatorial COVID-19 calls since taking office, according to a report from RealClearPolitics, and it’s sparking frustration among governors across the country.

“The Trump White House hosted a total of 40 COVID conference calls. Pence led 39 of them, according to that administration’s final COVID report first obtained by RCP. Trump participated in eight. Things are different now, said Pete Ricketts. ‘President Biden hasn’t been on any of them,’ the Nebraska governor told RCP, ‘and Vice President Harris has only been on one, but that was for about five minutes and she didn’t take any questions.’” – RealClearPolitics

Instead, the Biden administration has allowed their “gold standard” governor, Andrew Cuomo, to lead the calls. Cuomo is currently under federal investigation for attempting to cover up thousands of coronavirus-related nursing home deaths that occurred under his watch and for rampant sexual harassment.

Bottom line: President Biden’s decision to write off the meetings and allow Governor Cuomo to lead discussions about the nation’s coronavirus response tells you everything you need to know about this administration’s reckless leadership.
