White House would welcome Trump urging supporters to get vaccinated
| The Biden administration would welcome former President Trump getting more involved in vaccine outreach efforts, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Monday, but she signaled there would be no formal invitation for Trump to do so.
“If former President Trump woke up tomorrow and wanted to be more vocal about the safety and efficacy of the campaign, of the vaccine, certainly we’d support that,” Psaki said at a briefing with reporters. “Every other living former president… has participated in public campaigns,” she added. “They did not need an engraved invitation to do so. He may decide he should do that. If so, great. But there are a lot of different ways to engage to reach out to ensure that people of a range of political support and backing know the vaccine is safe and effective.” |
