Biden behaves as the incoming president, even as Trump balks at giving up power
Source: Washington Post
WILMINGTON, Del. President-elect Joe Biden sought to project the authority of an incoming president Monday as he dealt with matters domestic and international, even as the defeated incumbent continued to balk at turning over the reins.
Biden began taking calls from foreign leaders, speaking Monday with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He also was weighing whom to appoint to top White House positions, with several of his longtime advisers expected to take senior roles. And he turned his attention to the coronavirus, dispatching a key aide to brief Senate Democrats this week and making a strong pitch to Americans of every ideology to follow public health recommendations.
Biden urged Americans to wear masks, at one point holding one up during a speech in Wilmington, and sought to depoliticize the act of putting one on.
We can save tens of thousands of lives if everyone would just wear a mask for the next few months, said Biden, who wore a mask routinely during the campaign and was mocked by President Trump for doing so. Not Democrat or Republican lives, American lives.
