President-elect Joe Biden warns of dire consequences if President Trump and his administration continue to refuse to coordinate with his transition team on the coronavirus pandemic. The remarks are Biden’s toughest to date in the aftermath of the election.

Biden has vowed to spend trillions of dollars to reinvigorate U.S. manufacturing, expand health care coverage and combat climate change, among other priorities. But his chief priority remains controlling the pandemic, which is surging to record levels and forcing state and local leaders to implement new rounds of restrictions on local businesses.

But members of his coronavirus advisory board have been more specific. One member, Dr. Michael Osterholm, recently suggested a four- to six-week national lockdown with financial aid for Americans whose livelihoods would be affected. He later walked back the remarks and was rebutted by two other members of the panel who said a widespread lockdown shouldn’t be under consideration.

Biden was asked Monday whether he would encourage leaders to look at potentially reinstating stay-at-home orders now that the pandemic is surging nationwide. He avoided answering directly and instead called on officials to embrace mask-wearing and criticized those who haven’t. But much of the rebound was fueled by $2 trillion in stimulus money that has largely run its course. And there are signs that the ongoing increases in confirmed virus cases are making Americans more cautious about traveling and shopping.

_Politics Biden spreading fear .. this is th tipical Dumocratic game plan. He is not President elvis yet. And he does recurve daily briefings, just like call Presidential candidates. Dire consequenves!! Oh may!!! Biden needs to shut up until the election is certified. 🇺🇸

Still locked in Wilmington ? WHY ?

_Politics President Trump cannot hand over the leadership and control of America to individuals such as Biden that have committed treason by receiving bribes from country such as China and have committed crimes against the United States & the American people. Trump must stay in office🇺🇸✊🏽

I think Joe and Donald need to have many face to face discussions with both teams. Very close contact and intimate.

_Politics Mr. Biden won the US presidency. Most of the world laughed in mockery and asked why such a great world had such blatant fraud in elections? Let's do something to clear this up. People of conscience, patriots, stand up to defend right!

It’s almost comical that Joe thinks he can work with them.

President-elect? Where? “Just keep lying, just keep lying, just keep lying.” ~Josef Goebbels

Biden is NOT Communist elect!

_Politics Dire consequences if he does help with transition!

Tough? I must disagree, tactful yes, but not tough. I wish hed gaze at us and say, “Every covid death is blood on the hands of Donald Trump Jan, 28th forward. All Americans who’ve lost and are losing all they’ve worked for to a person that never once earned a dime on his own.

This is the most interesting time in history. News as we know it, will change forever. Consciousness, the most powerful force on Earth rises. It’s interesting for ABC CNN CNBC and news papers. Not many believe the poles & news anymore. No viewers no advertising revenue PressSec

Biden didn’t win

I want go DC b now! To think I just might see a President I voted for.....so cool!

He's not president-elect.

It ain't over baby 😂😂😂

GSAEmily You have already proved your unworthiness as an employee. There may still be time to save yourself from charges.

Kinda like his team did when Trump was elected?

😂😂😂

Lol!! Tough?

What happened to Bidens plan!?!? 🤔🙄🤣

_Politics

President elect hahaha funny

You lost dude

_Politics Since Trump has no plan for the pandemic there may be nothing to coordinate.

These election results are disputed.

_Politics

According to official sources, nobody gives a fuck about what Biden thinks, fact-checkers confirm. There is absolutely no widespread evidence of anyone giving a fuck what Biden thinks.

_Politics Sleepy

I would much rather hear about what VP-elect Harris is up to. You do realize that's who we all voted for right?

In fairness to the Trump Administration, Racist Joe Biden is impossible to take seriously.

Biden just appoints himself the President? This is EXACTLY how Hitler took over Germany. He tried stealing the election, lost and then he and his buddies, media, appointed him Chancellor. The whole while there was an actual president still, he then started acting like president.

🤮🤮🤮

More people will die! Because the virus bioweapon will seek and take out those in bad health and those that are fearful of this attack against the citizens of the world.

People stands with you

President Biden time to put your foot down

I hope those who voted for tRump realize what a stupid choice they made!

He's not president elect

JUST UPDATED: 55 Donald Trump 2024 Campaign Promises. NEW CAMPAIGN SLOGAN “I can't possibly do any worse next time” Trump DID NOT MAGA

Well, Trump’s “administration” started by ignoring the previous administration which is more in line with a hostile takeover than democratic change.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Biden needs to slow his roll - and simply wait until all of the states have declared. JoeBiden has nothing of value to add to what is being done - so - his predictions are full of hot air!! 🤬

Bahaaaaa!

Just tell Mr Biden to be patient until he wins the legal election

Dire warnings from an old man are only the remarks of an old man.

How much does he expect to learn from a team who have learnt to be a support group for an adolescent?

Other than say he wouldn’t use an approved vaccine what would he be doing different?

The man is cognitively impaired. Would be like talking to a 5 year old. Might as well have him step aside now and get serious with the socialist agenda with Kamala

I dislike Trump and understand he lost the election, but nothing has been certified. Biden isn’t president yet and hasn’t been elected by the Electoral college yet. Several states are still in the process of counting and recounting. Let’s wait until everything is counted.

Funny how all fakenews has the same headline from this botched conference that was supposed to focus on economic policy but instead was just a bunch of staged Q&A and this was the only out of context quote due to Biden’s incoherent blabbering BidenIsNotSmart

1/2 In 4 years, republicans will state that Biden failed to work against Covid-19 and this would be the reason that tens of thousands of americans died because of him. But that's just because Trump failed first hand and not support a smooth transition.

In 1963, the year following the Cuban Missile Crisis, Congress warned that “[a]ny disruption occasioned by the transfer of the executive power could produce results detrimental to the safety and well-being of the United States and its people.” /1

Lol seriously- he’s not winning!!!

sportsiren Come on man, just go back to your basement where you are safe. No need to transition anything.

They don't have a clue as to how to handle the pandemic either.

PROSECUTE ALL OF THEM.

He is NOT PRESIDENT -ELECT!!!!

he isn't gonna do it. it's not going to happen, because if it does, he's confirming defeat.

LOCK TRUMP UP! LOCK TRUMP UP!!!

Really? Dire? You aren’t the President at this point!

Not president elect.

President-elect according to who, the media!?

The GSA director should be held criminally liable for the lives lost by her hyper partisan and unfounded delay in the transition. Shame on her for violating her oath of office and the public's trust.

Trump is doing an amazing job. He will just have to sit back and watch it all happen

Trump’s main purpose is to continue golfing and keep whining!!!!

NO ONE CARES LOL

Come On GOP !!!! We Will Not Forgive or Forget !!!

The BIG PICTURE here is public safety (which Trump seems to disregard in numbers... great numbers.) Ppl go to jail and some of them executed for taking 1 life with no concern.

Is that a threat? You can't do that. You'll end up in jail for things like that.

Dire. Someone do something. ABC CBSNews NBCNews CNN NewsHour Speak up. Demand he cooperate.

Try to find some real news now....back to work!!!💁🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I thought Joe had a plan that was better than Trump's

DJ today: 29,883.36

'How Obama-era budget controls have hurt US military readiness against growing China, Russia, Iran threats' The military is going to hate Biden just like they hated Obama.

Wonder what Joe would do if his transition was spied upon !!!?

AP trying to stir up trouble.🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

JonLemire Media should play to trumps ego-if he has done best possible job managing this crisis then why doesn’t he want to transition to Biden-only upside for trump he can continue to claim it his success!!!!

MandoMonday

Find another crime to charge him with

Neither one cares about the American people. All a money game. AP just propagating the same broken system and emotions the public have been feeding into for years. Sheep !

AP the media does not elect the president. There is a process and MSM is not included

December 14 Joe slow down, were adding to the list of votes you never received

Haven’t Americans suffered enough?

He could just play golf

There is no President elect ! The Congress in this way said

Trump and his greatest shit show on earth.

NO REAL NEWS HERE!!! NO DUE DILIGENCE JUST LIES

its the pathetic wannabee presidents revenge against america for rejecting him for another 4 years

If this is Biden’s toughness coming out we’re doomed

The dire consequences of the the pandemic and the risk to our national security. He also said trump may never concede, but that even if they got no cooperation, they will hit the ground running.

When is Joey going to take questions from reporters?

Ex President elect is toast.

Stop calling him President Elect, both Congress and GSA say he isn't. FAKE NEWS

They can find 45 on the golf course. Maybe if he has a good round, he'll change his mind.

Have the electors voted yet, results been certified, or even finished counting all the votes?

Shut downs , Kids out of school , Big tax increases , defunding Cops , Limiting the Military , open borders , No oil or fracking , Who could have voted for this ? Do you think there is VOTER Fraud or just pure Public stupidity ? C'mon man ... This should be FUN.....

More threats 😴😴😴

CCP OPERATIVE.

Sadly, JoeBiden can do no more on this. Up to SpeakerPelosi now.

Time to force their hand and take it to court.... Fight for what's right

Lol he's not even President-elect yet because there has been no certified states and electors haven't even been officially selected, what could he even try

so much about trump loves america

Lock them up

You lost Trump, act presidential for once please
