White House gets set for cautious pivot on pandemic
| The White House is preparing to pivot on the pandemic — but with a different approach than the July 4 celebration last summer that some have subsequently criticized as premature.
“No one wants a repeat of last July,” said one Democratic strategist. At the Independence Day event, President Biden declared near “independence” from COVID-19. What followed were the delta and omicron variants, which caused spikes in cases and hospitalizations, contributing to the COVID fatigue that has been a factor in declining approval numbers for Biden. |
