Senate Majority Leader McConnell admits he was wrong to say President Obama didn't leave President Trump a pandemic 'game plan.'
In an interview on Monday with Trump 2020 senior adviser Lara Trump on a YouTube episode of"Team Trump Online!” McConnell said the Obama administration"did not leave to this administration any kind of game plan for something like this," referring to the coronavirus crisis.
Former Obama administration officials, however, said that they did share with the incoming Trump administration"The maddening thing is Obama left them a WH office for pandemics, a literal playbook, a cabinet-level exercise, and a global infrastructure to deal with 'something like this,'"McConnell's walkback on Thursday came after Trump told reporters on his way to Pennsylvania earlier in the day that he was given very little when he came into office.
"The Obama-Biden plan that has been referenced was insufficient, wasn't going to work," said White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. "Beyond that, we did a whole exercise on pandemic preparedness," she added."In August of last year, we had an entire after-action report put together. In other words, the Obama-Biden paper pocket was superseded by President Trump-style pandemic preparedness."
