Biden calls Michael, a woman who lost her job due to Corona
On Saturday, US President Joe Biden phoned a woman who lost her job due to the "Covid-19" pandemic. As part of his quest to show how close he is to his fellow countrymen. Within a new mechanism for direct communication with individuals from the American people. According to the "AFP".
Because of Corona, I had the conversation by phone from the Oval Office with Michelle, who hailed from Roseville, California. She is a woman who lost her job at a startup due to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
And Michelle had sent a letter to Biden telling him about her suffering and that she was looking for work.
In a video of the conversation posted online by the White House, the president said: “My father used to tell me that work is much more than a salary. Is your dignity, respect and position in society.
"We are very happy that you are focusing on this," said Michel, whose surname was not disclosed. Adding that her parents have just registered to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
For her part, US presidential spokeswoman Jane Psaki explained, Friday, that the White House will launch a new mechanism "that will enable the president to regularly communicate directly with the American people."
Direct contact with citizens is supposed to become the modern version of the social media era of the conversations President Franklin Roosevelt used to have with citizens over the radio in the 1930s. Which he used as a way to draw close to his countrymen.
Last year, Michele lost her job because of the pandemic. I recently gave her a call to hear her story and discuss how my American Rescue Plan will help families like hers. pic.twitter.com/SAqM2GytPf
