U.S. President Joe Biden gives California woman pep talk in weekly address revival
The HinduPresident Joe Biden gave a pep talk to a California woman who was laid off because of the coronavirus pandemic, during a conversation the White House said is part of an effort to help him engage more consistently with regular Americans. “I’ve been saying a long time, the idea that we think we can keep businesses open and moving and thriving without dealing with this pandemic is just a non-starter,” Mr. Biden said. “I’m still riding high.” The conversation is part of an effort to help Mr. Biden, who has largely limited his travel because of the pandemic, communicate directly with Americans, the White House said. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the President’s physician, said in a statement issued by the White House that the “10-week post-injury weight-bearing X-ray” was to make sure Mr. Biden had regained stability in his ligaments.
