Biden to the Governors of Florida and Texas: "If you are not going to help us, get out of the way" | Video | CNN

The president of the United States, Joe Biden, on Tuesday asked Republican leaders in Florida and Texas to help with the fight against covid-19 and if not, "get out of the way."

These two states account for a third of the new cases in the country.

Both Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott oppose many restrictive measures to curb the spread.
