President Trump and Joe Biden spoke on the phone Monday after Trump questioned why Biden didn’t take his offer to call, according to reports.
Trump wrote on Twitter on Monday, “what ever happened to that phone call he told the Fake News he wanted to make to me?”
On Monday afternoon, the call happened, sources told Bloomberg News.
Spokespeople for Biden and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Biden, the former vice president and presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, expressed interest in speaking with Trump about the coronavirus outbreak last week, according to a statement released by his campaign.
Trump said Wednesday he’d “love” to talk with Biden, but questioned whether it actually was Biden who made the offer.
“Sleepy Joe, did he write the statement or did some PR person write it?” Trump said at a White House press conference Wednesday.
But Trump added: “Oh absolutely, I’d love to speak with him, sure… I always found him to be a nice guy. I don’t know him very well, frankly, but I think he’s probably a nice guy — No, if he’d like to call I would absolutely take his call.”
The presumptive Democratic nominee’s campaign offered to call earlier in the day after Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway asked during a TV interview why Biden doesn’t “call the White House today and offer some support?”
