Biden has been trying to get vaccine-hesitant people off the sidelines for months but still
faces nearly 40 million eligible who have chosen not to get the shot so far. He again stressed the need for jabs during the speech, saying that vaccination is "your patriotic duty" and mentioning that former President Donald Trump is not only vaccinated but boosted. "It may be one of the only things he and I agree on," Biden said. "Join us. Join us."
