Biden Meeting with US Workers, Businesses Impacted by Coronavirus

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - U.S. President-elect Joe Biden is meeting virtually
   Wednesday with American small business owners and workers who have been
   impacted by the economic slowdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

   Biden is hosting the discussion from his hometown of Wilmington,
   Delaware, the hub of his transition activities seven weeks ahead of his
   inauguration on January 20. He also is again receiving the President's
   Daily Brief, the U.S. intelligence community's assessment of the
   world's trouble spots and any potential national security threats to
   the United States.

   When he takes office, Biden will immediately be confronted with the
   slowing of the U.S. economic recovery brought on by the resurgence of
   the pandemic, even as the release of vaccines is anticipated later this
   month.
