President elect joe biden is moving forward with transition plans says the congratulations at home and abroad continue to come and on sunday he visited a Church Cemetery where family members saberi including his late son this week he will meet with his advisors to build a plan for combating coronavirus in the u. S. And reviving the economy donald trump meanwhile golfing outside of washington is refusing to concede defeat tweeting about legal challenges and vote recounts final tallies are still being done in several states and he insists without evidence that the election was fortunate but fellow republican and former president george w. Bush says the vote was fair and its outcome clear and sent his congratulations to biden mike hanna has more on bidens plans to tackle covered 19 when he takes over at the oval office. They have been preparing for this for months particularly with regard to the pandemic which joe biden continually describes as his absolute priority and he is getting working already in the next 24 hours hell be naming a corona virus taskforce that he will be sitting up he has been advised by various experts for a long period of time now among them ron plame who was the at both czar and barack obama but we understand as well that this task force is going to be headed by big murphy whos a former Surgeon General appointed by obama and then fired by donald trump in 2018 as well as a former commissioner of the food and Drug AdministrationDavid Kessler so this is really a heavyweight team that will be advising biden and which will form part of his Coronavirus Task force as he and his. Vice president elect come harris go forward but biden has made very clear through his campaign and hes made very clear since he was spoke as president elect that he believes that the way to combat the pender make is to follow the science. As i mentioned earlier u. S. President george w. Bush issued a note of congratulations to the president elect when she posted on instagram he thanked biden for the patriotic message that he delivered on saturday night adding that it also called komla her 1st to congratulate her on her historic election to the vice presidency he goes on though we have political differences i know joe biden to be a good man who has won his opportunity to lead and unify our country and i offered him the same thing i offered president s trump and obama my prayers for his success and my pledge to help another republican senator mitt romney believes trump will accept the result of his legal challenges fail but he cautions trump on the language that hes using. I think one has to be careful in the choice of words i think they would you say that the election was corrupt or stolen or rigged but thats unfortunately rather rhetoric that gets picked up by authoritarians around the world and i think it also discourages confidence that our democratic process here at home and and with the battle going on right now between authoritarianism and freedom why i think i think its very important that we not use language which which can encourage. A course in history which would be very very unfortunate. The u. S. Is seen 4 Straight Days of new coronavirus in Fiction Records or the 126000 cases and about 1000 deaths were reported on sunday at least 230000 people are known to have died from covered 9000 in the u. S. Its total infection count is nearing 10000000. Well bred only looks at how bottom will tackle coronavirus into other pressing problems when he deals with whats likely to be a divided congress. Once the celebrations by joe biden and kamel harriss supporters have faded the enormity of the task facing the president elect and his deputy looms ahead and im humbled by the trust and confidence you placed in me. Biden has pointed to the covert 19 pandemic now rampaging virtually unchecked throughout the country as his most urgent priority are work regathered getting covert under control by the time he takes the oath of office the situation may be far worse than it is now there are several months between now and when i actually takes control if the Current Administration doesnt do an about face we will see much more misery much more unnecessary deaths Infectious Disease specialists say biden must work hard to convince the millions of people swayed by trumps rejection of science and mask wearing to change their behavior needs to gather the right people around him. Which i know he will do he needs to get rid of those individuals who have been voicing nonscientific and unsound. Bad advice some things will be relatively easy for biden to accomplish by executive action rejoining the paris climate accords reinstating Environmental Protection rules bill limited under trump and reversing the socalled muslim ban but if the senate stays under republican control biden may be forced to compromise on vital matters like the size of an economic stimulus and relief legislation even more difficult to get through the senate will be bidens plans to increase taxes on high earners extend Health Care Insurance to more americans and overhaul immigration laws we know one thing about. President elect biden its somebody who has that instead of getting things done reaching across the aisle especially in a place like the senate and i think thats going to be exactly the sort of attributes be so important to getting anything done at all its an old cliche to say after an election victory now comes the hard part but for joe biden and Pamela Harris the path ahead is as steep and as difficult as that of any Incoming Administration in u. S. History rob reynolds aljazeera los angeles. Biden looks ahead to President Donald Trump and his lawyers not admitting defeat has some of the legal maneuvering that theyre working on at the moment of requested a recount of votes in places like wisconsin one of the States Joe Biden flipped from republican to democratic and possibly georgia where biden is narrow in a head theyre also fighting various lawsuits and other battleground states such as pennsylvania nevada and arizona they made allegations out that mail in ballots which in leaned to inspire didnt have been subject to widespread fraud and that Republican Campaign observers were not given sufficient access to vote counting sentence theres no or no evidence has been provided to support these claims joe walsh is a former republican congressman and was a 2020 president ial hopeful he believes the Republican Party is now irreversibly tied to trump and its in serious trouble. Look donald trump has been attacking our democracy for months hes been telling his supporters not to accept the results of the election and i can tell oh you most of his supporters will not accept his loss and i think thats going to lead to ugliness in america and thats on donald trump these are people who for a long have felt ignored by our politics 4 years ago a long game and ugly down like i said im going to build the wall and brown people lot of this country and that was horrible but decent people believed it and now theyve clung to him and theyre not going to let go of him because they now believe he won and it was stolen from him this is a scary time in america. But i think now to john net and to a democratic strategist and former Communications Director at the Democratic National committee he joins us on skype from washington d. C. What do you think about what joe walsh there was saying that the Republican Party is a better. Irreversibly now tied to donald trump. I think you definitely right i think weve seen for a long time now the reality that people who watch certain conservative news sources in america and get their news through certain channels their reality looks more and more different from the reality that the rest of us live in and or see through are and so for those folks theyre not aware that 1st of all that don hunt was never a popular president that he would actually never in his in dire term in office the favor person of a majority of americans never had that support of maturity of americans but that those folks who are his people hes a guy whos going to save them all from all of that will be men that they hear about on their news sources and so. Its more than just the usual sort of stages of grief i lost an election this is the whole moral view. That is now crashing and that reality that joe biden is one of more than 4000000. 00 more american votes in the election than their guy has and its not clear exactly where that energy goes for that if we look at the legal challenges being brought by by trump and his team showing joe biden cannot ignore what donald trump is looking to do in the courts how likely i mean how is he likely to play this do you think as it goes through the courts to assure donald Trump Supporters that their calls for a fair herring in the courts are being listened to. Yeah i think there are you get your security considerations here donald trump the legal challenges his Legal Options are kind of dwindling at this point he can make the case that there was widespread fraud of some sort but he had its been a been a few days now and he has really really come up with nothing in terms of evidence to support that and so what you see are more and more its due to tional republicans cutting him loose theyve got the senate theyve got the Supreme Court even though he has the allegiance of his followers institutionally hes not getting a lot of traction with this or joe biden of course he very concerned with the general tenor of the country how these people who are going to be his constituents in january are reacting in handling this and what kind of will eat their soup possibly outside of the ports but generally i think the advice for the biden camp and from the biden camp is for them to go about their business and for them to be offering the American People if we turn to a stable more mole president ial and ministration just trying to do the job so that the court quite as much as they can separate and there are other folks doing handling that as we have been reporting the coronavirus pandemic and sort of the number one priority for joe biden coming into power how difficult do you think it will be for him to unify people around his coronavirus plan given that how many trump support is it seen as sort of a nibble at afraid of issues. Yeah i mean it is one of the tragedies of this is that even just wearing a mask has become a political gesture in this country and its it is seen through that lens of these 2 separate realities and so our concern is that there are 2 months before joe biden had any official power over anything and did very little suit you know and he had the most recent couple of months to address the spreading coronavirus endemic at all which is why weve seen our record base level call a cross the country and so whats going on the next 2 months when this president is current president is not invested at all in the future and the outcome here are so things could get very bad for joe biden that has a chance to begin to address this so were really heading into a very uncertain period of not just with politics and with these court cases and with the 70000000 people who voted for donald trump and now arent sure what any one with this virus as well if we add it to to Foreign Policy how do you think that joe biden will look to reshape u. S. Relationships and the way also that the u. S. Is seen internationally. Yeah weve already seen this even on twitter within hours of the race being officially call for joe biden weve seen leaders World Leaders across the world leaping to congratulate him and senator now Vice President elect terrorists on their victory and i think that will be a very quick to restore the status quo ante prior to President Trump and basically did treat the trumpet ministration from a Foreign Policy point of view as a little bit of an aberration as a blip and try so that its time to return to normal realize that theyre still on resolving issues about russias role in President Trump original election and so i think the whatever one makes of that i think theres going to be a return to the continuity that we saw in american Foreign Policy really across both parties to some degree prior to President Trumps elevation presence as being thank you so much we have made it. A democratic strategist and former Communications Director at the Democratic National committee thank you can. Still to come here on aljazeera we will have the rest of the days news including patients in Central America and the caribbean rush to help those made homeless by.
