Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, some governors are disappointed with President Joe Biden’s lack of engagement, saying they can’t even tell whether their feedback, questions, and requests are reaching the president.

While the administration continues to hold weekly conference calls with governors, which began under President Donald Trump, Biden has yet to attend. Vice President Kamala Harris has only briefly attended one call and took no questions, according to several governors.
