(CNN) President-elect Joe Biden warned that President Donald Trump's unwillingness to accept the outcome of the 2020 election could hamper the incoming Biden administration's ability to rapidly distribute a coronavirus vaccine. "More people may die if we don't coordinate," Biden told reporters Monday in Delaware, in a news conference after he met with labor and business leaders and delivered a speech on the economy. Biden's comment comes as Trump refuses to acknowledge the reality that he lost the presidential election. Biden said coordination is important "now, or as rapidly as we can get that done," and said that "it would make it a lot easier if the President were to participate." "I am hopeful that the President will be mildly more enlightened before we get to January 20," he said, making note of the date he will be inaugurated.
