White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki gave a preview of what President Joe Biden will talk about in his Omicron speech on Tuesday, claiming that the president will focus on his push in vaccinating Americans across the nation.

During her press briefing on Monday, Psaki gave the gist of what Biden will talk about as the Omicron variant continues to wreak havoc across the United States, Independent reported.

In the briefing Psaki said that Joe Biden's speech will not be about "locking the country down," but instead he will "focus on a drive for vaccinations."

"This is not a speech about locking the country down. This is a speech outlining the plan and being direct and clear with American people about the benefits of being vaccinated," Psaki highlighted in her press briefing.

The White House press secretary furthered that the president will also tackle what Americans should expect in the winter months and what "additional steps" people will be taking.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki: Biden to Issue 'Stark Warning' on Unvaccinated Americans

Psaki also underscored that the president will give a "stark warning" to the Americans who chose to remain unvaccinated despite the Omicron threat.

"For those who choose to remain unvaccinated, he'll [the president] issue a stark warning and make clear unvaccinated individuals will continue to drive hospitalizations and death," The White House press secretary pointed out.

Although Biden will give a warning to unvaccinated Americans, Psaki highlighted that the president is not trying to scare anyone.

"That [warning] is not trying to scare people - or maybe it is trying to make clear to people in the country what the risks are here of not being vaccinated," Psaki stressed.

President Biden was not the only one to point out that unvaccinated Americans contribute to the number of hospitalizations. It can be recalled that many Democrats asserted that unvaccinated Americans were driving the hospitalizations and deaths related to COVID-19 in response to the frustrations of vaccinated Americans about the pace of U.S. recovery from the virus.
