Trump says he's open to speaking to Biden about coronavirus [View all]

President Trump on Wednesday said he would “absolutely” take a call from former vice president and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to discuss the response to the coronavirus.

“Oh absolutely. I’d love to speak to him,” Trump said during a White House coronavirus briefing.

“I always found him to be a nice guy,” he added.

Trump expressed an openness to speaking with his potential general election opponent after first chiding him as "sleepy Joe."

The Biden campaign said earlier Wednesday that the former vice president offered to call Trump and talk about how best to combat the pandemic, which has killed thousands of Americans.
