"There's nothing partisan about this virus," Biden reminded everyone. He went on to note that Abbott and Cornyn are both "conservative Republicans, plenty of things we disagree with" but still agree on getting as many vaccinations administered as possible. "None of this has a partisan tinge," he reminded.
