Although he's optimistic that Americans will soon have a vaccine against the novel coronavirus, the nation's premier epidemiologist warns that won't be an end to what's become the daily reality of wearing masks and social distancing.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Friday that Democrats have "more power" in the federal government going forward and said that will "change his leverage."

Republicans are backing Donald Trump's baseless and nearly unprecedented decision not to accept Joe Biden as the anticipated, lawful 46th president of the United States merely for crass political purposes, according to journalists and Democrats.

President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris spent part of Tuesday trying to focus the nation's attention on what's at stake if the Supreme Court should strike down the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in the midst of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Briefing the nation Monday as he begins his transition to become the 46th president of the United States, President-elect Biden said that tens of thousands of lives could be saved if only Americans regularly and consistently wore face masks.
