'I thought they had a plan': Jen Psaki says Biden admin not in a place to predict 'when everybody will feel normal again'

Shortly before the 2020 election, one of Joe Biden’s primary promises was that he was the man with the plan to “shut down the virus”:

I'm not going to shut down the country.

I'm not going to shut down the economy.

I'm going to shut down the virus.

Ever since Biden took office, there’s been a bit of an attempt to pivot away from that promise, and today was no different:

Gee, it sure seems like the level of promises vs. the reality we’re seeing aren’t quite matching up!

I thought they had a plan.

The messaging on COVID-19 from the Biden camp sure did take a massive turn after the election.

Somewhere between “soon” and never” seems to be what the “team with a plan” is telling everybody.
