Use your power to save lives,\u201d Biden said months ago.<\/p>\n<p>McEnany then turned the conversation over to her panel, and Fox Business host Lauren Simonetti was first to respond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe threw up his hands, Kayleigh, and basically said, \u2018I give up,&#8217;\u201d Simonetti began. \u201cI don\u2019t know if he meant to say that. I don\u2019t know if his staffers were cringing, \u2018Oh my God, the president just said this.\u2019 That\u2019s \u2014 it\u2019s everything against what he said on the campaign trail and so far this year as President of the United States. They had this national solution, this federal mandate. Now he is saying we don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there is good news in this,\u201d Simonetti continued. \u201cAnd the good news is the way we deal with, the way we live with, the way we talk about COVID has changed. We are lessening its importance in our lives. Just deal with it. Give it to the governors to determine what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simonetti went on to point to the coming Supreme Court arguments on Biden\u2019s federal mandates, adding that if the federal plan was to pass things off to the governors, the mandates ought to be abandoned as well. \u201cThat could be a step in the right direction,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>McEnany passed the question to former White House communications director Mercedes Schlapp, noting that in addition to claiming he had a plan, Biden had spent much of the 2020 campaign ridiculing what he said was Trump\u2019s lack of a federal plan.<\/p>\n<p>Schlapp said that the Trump administration had coordinated a federal response \u2014 namely Operation Warp Speed, which fostered the development and emergency authorization of three vaccines in under a year \u2014 and that Biden\u2019s failure to do the same was telling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Biden it\u2019s all about promises made, promises broken,\u201d she said. \u201cI think it caught so maybe people by surprise saying there was no federal solution, that it\u2019s got to be led by the states. Well, the federal government needs to work hand in hand with the states to have a strong response to combat this virus. Needless to say, President Biden and his administration, they have failed the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
