mr. president, on generate 20 the biden harris administration will s begin its work with the mandate secured by the largest number of votes ever received by a presidential ticket in american history. its task, of course, will be daunting. the darkest days of the covid-19 pandemic are unfortunately ahead of us. more than 100,000 americans have been diagnosed with covid a day in more than 1000 americans are dying. soon, thankfully we will have an administration actually acknowledges the healthcare crisis and an administration that takes its job seriously that will listen to the council scientists and doctors and work to improve the lives of all americans regardless of who they voted for. already the incoming administration is preparing to hit the ground running and yesterday the president-elect announced his covid-19 task force in a group of the nation's top public health experts and scientists who advised the incoming administration on policy. today's senate democrats will receive a briefing from one of president-elect biden's scientific advisors former surgeon general. they expect will be th

we haven't seen mr widen or, lia harris who we understand is going to be the beginning of the programme can set his own time to some degree. we are going to be expecting to hear him speak, of course, that is the highlight of the evening, a speech between 15—18 minutes, it has been telegraphed as an his themes are fairly well—known, in fact it's the same sort of themes he's been hitting throughout his campaign, and tonight he will be making them tonight he will be making them to the american people as the president—elect, trying to convince those who didn't vote for him that he also has their back. he said yesterday, i will be the president of those who voted for me and those who didn't vote for me, but as we have been discussing, this is a time of extraordinarily bitter partisan divide so the question is, whether he is able to bridge those gaps that he keeps saying he would like to. he is quite optimistic, actually. he has called himself an optimist and he regularly says that in his speeches, i'm very optimistic, i believe that the future can be great for the country and i believe in am
