Joe Biden ‘wasn’t surprised’ that Donald Trump caught COVID-19
- Joe Biden said during an NBC News town hall event on Monday that he "wasn't surprised" that Trump ended up being infected by the novel coronavirus.
- Several attendees of a White House gathering for the announcement of Amy Coney Barrett as a Supreme Court Justice nominee have tested positive for COVID-19.
- Biden says that he wasn't concerned for his own safety during the debate, but that he wasn't sure why Trump's team didn't wear masks at the venue.
On Monday evening, as Donald Trump was making a spectacle of his return to the White House following his stay at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Joe Biden was taking part in a town hall event in Miami, Florida hosted by NBC News. Early in the conversation, moderator Lester Holt addressed the elephant in the room and asked Biden if he was surprised that the president had been infected with COVID-19.
"Quite frankly, I wasn't surprised," Biden said. "For the last three months, three times a week, I'm on the telephone and on Zoom with some of the leading immunologists in the nation, and they go through everything that's happening." He then added that it isn't surprising that a group of people who didn't wear masks, didn't socially distance, and were gathering in large numbers at the White House event would be putting themselves at risk.
