Mother Who Joe Biden Offered to Help at Town Hall Says His Empathy Is 'Refreshing'
At a CNN town hall on Tuesday night, President Joe Biden offered to help Kerri Engebrecht get a COVID-19 vaccine for her son with a pre-existing condition.
Engebrecht told Newsweek on Wednesday that while the president's empathy was "very refreshing," she wasn't looking for a favor that only benefited her son.
"We're talking about a system that has problems here," she said. "We weren't looking for a handout. We weren't looking for a favor."
At the town hall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Engebrecht told Biden that her 19-year-old son Nate was diagnosed with Pediatric Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) at 14.
