President Joe Biden will deliver a speech Tuesday to address the omicron variant and unveil new steps the administration is taking to help communities in need of assistance, a White House official told NBC News on Saturday.
Biden is expected to go beyond his already unveiled "winter plan" with additional measures while "issuing a stark warning of what the winter will look like for Americans that choose to remain unvaccinated," the official said.
The news comes amid a rise in Covid-19 cases and pleas from federal health officials for people to get vaccinated.
Aides said the Biden administration is "prepared for the rising case levels" and that Biden intends to explain how his team "will respond to this challenge," the official said.

that someone like DeSantis will be the gop nominee. Hes scarier than Trump because hes a smart fascist.
