Biden appears to sign off on McConnell's push for delayed Trump impeachment trial

President Biden did not appear to object to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's request to delay former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.

“The more time we have to get up and running to meet these crises, the better," Biden told reporters on Friday at the White House.

After signing two coronavirus economic relief executive orders, Biden said he "hasn't heard the details" of McConnell's proposal to push Trump's trial to mid-February after the House sends the Senate its impeachment article on Monday. The article charges Trump with inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
