Joe Biden on Wednesday met with his ‘supply chain disruptions task force’ and private sector CEOs.
Biden snapped at a reporter who asked if he took a second Covid test this morning after coming into contact with a Covid-positive White House aide.
“Wait, wait, wait a minute!” Biden shouted. “You asked me a question, ‘did I get my test today?’ – Yes, I did. Before I walked in here. I haven’t gotten the results yet.”
A reporter asked Joe Biden about his vaccine mandate for truckers.
“The trucking industry is petitioning the Supreme Court to repeal your vaccine mandate. They think it’s going to harm the supply chain recovery. What do you say?” the reporter asked Biden.
“I say no,” Biden replied.

Joe Biden will require essential, non-resident travelers crossing US land borders, such as truck drivers to be fully vaccinated by January 22, 2022.
Cargo ships are still anchored off the coast of Southern California due to a lack of workers needed to unload and ship product.
The trucking industry is short 80,000 drivers, a record high, according to Chris Spear, the President and CEO of the American Trucking Association.
Mr. Spear said a whopping 37% of truck drivers will reject the Covid jab.
“In our sample survey of our fleets, it came back as 37% of our drivers not only said “no” – but “hell no”” Mr. Spear said, adding that even if 3.7% of his drivers were to leave rather than get the vaccine it would be “catastrophic.”
