Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden told NBC in his first sit-down interview since the election that he supports efforts to reopen schools as quickly as possible, conditional upon safety measures like smaller class sizes, upgrades to ventilation systems, wearing personal protective equipment, and substantial federal aid.
“I think we should also be focusing on being able to open schools as rapidly as we can,” Biden told NBC’s Lester Holt on Nov. 24, adding, “I think it can be done safely.”
