Dr. Fauci met with President-elect Joe Biden's transition team on Thursday. Fauci will continue in his role under the Biden administration at the National Institutes of Health. Fauci said they discussed “a variety of Covid-related topics.” Fauci said he has spoken previously with Biden's incoming White House chief of staff, Ron Klain. Fauci added that his Thursday meeting will likely be the first of a series of transition meetings with the team. He also said he fully expects to remain in his role as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Sen. Doug Jones is the only Democratic Senator from the Deep South. He is running against Tommy Tuberville in Alabama. In December 2017 Jones narrowly won a special election to replace former Sen. Jeff Sessions. According to Business Insider Jones now faces much tougher odds against Tuberville. Tuberville is a former Auburn University football coach. He has earned President Donald Trump's endorsement. He easily defeated Sessions in a July runoff.
Donald Trump arrives for another day of jury selection in his historic criminal trial, in stark contrast to his White House rival President Joe Biden who headed out on the campaign trail. "I should be right now in Pennsylvania and Florida. In many other states, North Carolina, Georgia, campaigning. This is all coming from the Biden White House because the guy can't put two sentences together. He can't campaign," Trump says as he enters court. SOUNDBITE
