President Biden Praises Gov. Walz Over COVID-19 Vaccine Numbers

THE WHITE HOUSE: — President Joe Biden praising Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for the state’s success in getting COVID-19 vaccines into arms.

During a virtual roundtable on vaccines, President Biden told Walz, “I think you’re responsible, I know you are, for saving thousands of lives.”

More than 60% of Minnesotans 16 and older have the vaccine, one of the highest rates in the country.

States are using different tactics including Minnesota.
