Over the past few weeks, Democrat frontrunner Joe Biden has repeatedly criticized President Trump’s chosen manner of handling coronavirus. The former vice president’s vocal censure of the current president has occurred on social media, in interviews, and during talks with the press.

Days ago, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway urged Biden to work with the president rather than simply throw insults. Biden apparently decided to take Conway’s advice and expressed an interest in speaking with the president about COVID-19.

Earlier this evening, President Trump confirmed that he and Biden did, in fact, share a phone call about coronavirus today. Trump’s confirmation of the conversation occurred during Monday’s White House coronavirus press briefing.

When speaking at the coronavirus task force, Trump explained that he and Biden spoke for about 15 minutes regarding COVID-19.

Declining to go into specifics, the president explained that he and his prospective general election competitor agreed to keep the exact nature of the conversation between themselves. However, on all accounts, it appears as though the talk went smoothly.
