Out front tonight, more people may die. That is the warning tonight from joe biden. The president elect using some of the strongest language yet since the election, telling President Trump it is time to start to transition now or risking losing more american lives to the virus. More people may die. If we dont coordinate. They say they have this Warp Speed Program that not only dealt with getting vaccines but also how to distribute this. If we have to wait until january 20th to start that planning, it puts us behind over a month, month and a half. The idea that the president is still playing golf and not doing anything about it is beyond my comprehension. The virus is spreading at an alarming rate. More than 100,000 cases for the 14th day running, far outpacing any increases in testing. At least 14,951 americans have died since election day. People were alive coming in, now dead. Yet the president is ignoring the urgent calls not just from biden but from dr. Fauci. Obviously, its someth
Cavalry is not here yet so what we should do is that we should make the hope of a vaccine, motivate us even more to be very very stringent and very very attentive to fundamental simple doable Public Health measures. It might be stating the obvious here but these vaccines cannot come soon enough. Monday was the third worst day ever for the spread of the coronavirus in the united states. At least 100,000 cases per day for two weeks straight. Moderna says its vaccine candidate was nearly 95 effective at blocking infection and critically here, it doesnt need to be kept at temperatures as ultra cold as pfizers vaccine does. Americans everywhere now clinging to hope with more patients in hospitals than at any time in the entire pandemic. Officials are warning the winter surge could push some medical centers to the breaking point. There is a fixed resource, not just hospital beds and protect, but also respiratory therapists, doctors, nurses, janitorial staff and when those resources get stret
Covering the biden campaign, shannon pettypiece, and kat aie glick on the biden beat as well. I want to start with the comments from michelle obama. Today, were hearing from michelle obama. She wrote a lengthy post on instagram about the transition. Tell us what she had to say. Right, and the former first lady is not extraordinarily outspoken, so when she does speak, it does warrant some attention. She talked about the difficulty she had setting aside some of the personal feelings from the 2016 campaign and welcoming Melania Trump into the white house in 2016, answering her questions, you know, telling her everything she needed to know to be able to assume the responsibilities of first lady. She then wrote in her post, she said, our love of country requires us to respect the results of an election, even when we dont like them or wish it had gone differently. The presidency does not belong to any one individual or any one party. To pretend it does or play along with these groundless con
Reopen and resume our lives and put this behind us and not just have thanksgiving and christmas but next thanksgiving and christmas, we have to do everything possible. That the American People have issued a mandate quoting him they want us to cooperate and deliver results, he said. He did not mention President Trump when he said those specific words. With the good news of a possible vaccine comes in need of distribution of it and rising cases across the country calls for coordination between current government officials and in coming administration. Thats not happening. Thats still not happening because the current president wholl leave office on january 20th whether he likes it or not is still blocking the in coming biden team. President elect was asked about that this afternoon. What do you see of your transition given President Trumps delay smooth transfer of power. More people may die if we dont coordinate. Look. As my chief of staff, ron klain, have said, a vaccine is important. H
This morning the coronavirus is worse than its ever been. More than 73,000 americans are hospitalized with coronavirus this morning. That is the highest total ever. Well tell you why its such a dangerous level and rate of growth. Theres never been a greater need for leadership in this country and a greater abdication than were seeing right now. The president is refusing to coordinate or discuss the response with the man who won the election. And now joe biden says more people will lose lives. More people will die. They say they have this Warp Speed Program that they dealt with getting vaccines and how to distribute it. If we have to wait until january 20th to start that planning it puts us behind over a month, month and a half. Theres just no reason to wait. More than 166,000 new cases reported overnight. Thats the most ever reported on a monday. And this morning were also learning more about the Republican Partys effort to try to invalidate president elect bidens victory. Georgias rep
