Joe Biden blasted President Donald Trump late Saturday ver the president’s decision not to sign a coronavirus relief bill before funding for the federal supplemental unemployment benefit ran out Saturday night. Biden called Trump’s veto an “abdication of responsibility,” though both Democrats and Republicans agreed to the $600 stimulus checks the president finds objectionable.

“It is the day after Christmas, and millions of families don’t know if they’ll be able to make ends meet because of President Donald Trump’s refusal to sign an economic relief bill approved by Congress with an overwhelming and bipartisan majority,” Biden said in a statement.
