Biden chief of staff Ron Klain says on MSNBC that the president-elect has spoken to some Republican senators (he doesn’t say which) but not yet to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Klain suggests R senators who have spoken with Biden may not want their names public right now: “I’m not naming names because we read out the calls when we read out the calls, when both sides agree to read out the calls. And he’s having private conversations with individuals.”
Klain: HHS officials are planning for vaccine distribution in the months when Biden will be president, “so the sooner we can get our transition experts into meetings with the folks who are planning the vaccination campaign, the more seamless the transition.”
Klain on Biden and McConnell: “They obviously need no introduction to one another. They have worked together. They have fought each other, worked together and fought each other over the decades. They’ll have a working relationship when the time comes.”
