Former Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday that his aides are working to set up a call between him and President Trump to discuss the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden offered earlier this week to speak with Trump about the government’s strategy to combat the coronavirus outbreak. The president told reporters on Wednesday that he would “absolutely take his call.”
“I’m happy to hear he’ll take my call,” Biden said in a virtual briefing with reporters on Thursday. “My team is working with him to set such a call up.”
Biden and Trump’s willingness to speak on the phone with one another comes even as they have continued to spar in recent weeks.
Biden has repeatedly criticized Trump’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, blaming the president for being slow to take decisive action to slow the spread of the virus. He has sought to present himself as a more stable alternative to Trump through digital briefings, television interviews and other media appearances.

Why doesn’t he just send a telegram?
keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Sleepy Joe is gonna get the briefing from Trump... ol Joe does not have the brain-power, strength or stamina to understand the chinese virus crisis.
idiot was looking down at crib notes during his last bullshit interview
DJT needs to make the call a PPV event. He’d raise millions for his reelection :)
Takes time to set up the ‘Rat wire tap trap?
“How long does it take for his people to do this?”
Phones that require a crank take a minute to patch into the phone system today.
Trump knows how to play ‘em!
Trump gave them the 555 number.
They need time to coordinate the with 'interagency' and for everyone to write a script and talking points for them to follow (ignore), get the eavesdroppers in place, and then they can use that to start another 'inquiry' and start their game all over again.
Trump will take the call because he wants to size him up and look for weaknesses...
There may be some 8 second audio delay from person to person. That will allow Joe’s people to repeat the question to Joe in a slow and clear manner. Lot’s of creative editing going on.
It’s like when one reporter in America talks to an Anchor Man in Japan.
Maybe Biden wants to talk to him about Ukraine.
Biden, as presumptive Democrat nominee for President, is head of the party.
I hope Trump rips him a new one over all the obstructive Democrat maneuvers in Congress.
I hope he does it in a very loud and one way conversation; sort of of like a flame tank burning out a bunker.
I hope he lets Biden know it will be worse once the General Election campaign starts in the fall.
Then I hope he hangs up on him. Creepy Joe has nothing useful to contribute.
Joe says Trump was slow? It’s been 24 hours and your team still couldn’t setup a phonecall in 2020. Gonna have to be better than that Joe
My exact reaction: How long does it take? And is that a snapshot of the efficiency of a lifelong bureaucrat or what? Pffff.... Joe needs to sit down.
You underestimate Biden. I pray the phone call is videoed at both ends, because Biden will lie his eternal soul to a clinker with how he told POTUS how to eliminate the entire CV scourge in 20 minutes, and how POTUS was too _____ (fill in the blank) to do what the Delaware Genius “instructed” him to do. MHO. This is a desperate democRAT we’re discussing.
I already know Trump’s side of the conversation: “Uh-huh, uh-huh, yes, sure, you don’t say.” I know some of you know people with dementia. A meaningful conversation is difficult.
This is BS. Joe will have a team of people feeding him answers, and gotcha replies. It needs to be in the White House, face to face, with the media, and Lysol.
