“Well, that’s a decision they madeand I think it’s a mistake. They should listen to Dr. Anthony Fauci, and the scientists, and the experts; but I think it’s not responsible”,Biden said.

The Rangers decided to allow full attendance after Texas governor, Gregg Abbott, endedwith all restrictions related to the pandemic and by that allowed that sports eventscould host thousands of spectators. It is expected that the baseball franchise would only allow full attendance for this game, and after that they will probably reduce the allowed capacity.
