President-elect Joe Biden is advising President Donald Trump to follow in former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s footsteps and urge Americans to wear masks.
“I give former Governor Chris Christie credit. He and I have disagreed on a number of things, but I’m thankful he’s now encouraging people to do the right thing and wear masks their themselves, their loved ones, and their country. I hope that President Trump will listen to him,” Biden said while delivering remarks in Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday.
He added, “He can do it too. It would make a huge difference for President Trump to say, ‘Wear masks.'”
Watch his remarks below:
Christie, a Republican, released a video earlier this month encouraging Americans to wear masks just months after he was treated for COVID-19.
“You know, lying in isolation in ICU for seven days, I thought about how wrong I was to remove my mask at the White House. Today, I think about how wrong it is to let mask-wearing divide us,” Christie said.
He continued, “You’re twice as likely to get COVID-19 if you don’t wear a mask because if you don’t do the right thing we could all end up on the wrong side of history. Please wear a mask.”
