The White House on Friday claimed that President Joe Biden never supported coronavirus lockdowns, despite his endorsement of a national lockdown strategy during the 2020 campaign.
“We’ve not been pro-lockdown; that has not been his agenda — most of the lockdowns actually happened under the previous President,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing.
Psaki was asked by a reporter about a recent Johns Hopkins study that showed little to no public health benefit from lockdowns, but rather a significant social and economic toll on society.
“The president’s agenda, the president’s approach, has not been lockdowns,” Psaki said.
But during the president’s 2020 campaign, Biden repeatedly endorsed the idea of lockdowns.
In March 2020, during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, Biden endorsed a nationwide lockdown, citing support for the idea promoted by billionaire Bill Gates.
“For the time being, I would. Yes,” Biden said when asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper about the idea of a national lockdown.
