Kron fours dan thorn talked with some congressional leaders from the bay area about what theyre hoping to see with this new administration, yeah well one of the good things is having somebody like Kamala Harris is from the bay area. Having the ear of the president elect joe biden but summer washington leaders also say that its important to have an administration that also thinks a lot like you do. A new administration brings a new outlook for bay Area Representatives with a friend in the white house. Theyre hoping the areas biggest concerns can take center stage. We finally have an ally in that position president who will listen to science to listen to people from california congressman Jared Huffman says the covid19 pandemic and Climate Change should be at the forefront. Both requiring a focus on science you know like so many things with this administration. There was more interest in politicizing issues then in problem solving that 4 years of no signs for congresswoman barbara lee, the new administration also means increased efforts on housing job losses health care and racial inequality those important i think for this administration and our so please thats our president like joe biden talk about racism and systemic racism in tackling that local representatives are forecasting a sunnier outlook under a biden harris presidency, but there are plenty of challenges still ahead. Im excited. Well its Important Note that the biden when also opens up harriss Us Senate Seat congresswoman barbara lee could be on the short list to fill that job and jonathan i asked the congresswoman about that possibility and she said that its going to be up to.

Meanwhile, President Trump and his supporters are still insisting that the election was stolen from him and they dont have any evidence to back that up that there is a widespread voter fraud most legal experts say that President Trumps lawsuits are destined to fail. These legal challenges that trump is bringing are basically meritless and even if they had merit which the vast majority of them do not. They would result in the overturning of the election but biden is winning by 10s of thousands of votes in all of the relevant states is a legal challenges are going to have an effect. The transition period between the election and Inauguration Day has already been cut short by the extra time it took to determine the winner. And as our washington correspondent Jessi Turnure reports the president has made it Crystal Clear that he will not concede the race any time soon. People have spoken. President elect joe biden and his team are ready to get to work Senior Campaign adviser Symone Sanders says as President Trump continues to insist he won the election i think the white house has made clear what their strategy is here and that they are going to continue to participate and push forward these flailing and in many in many respects legal strategies, the Trump Campaign is moving forward with recounts and lawsuits in several closely contested states to ensure only legal votes are counted. What Utah Republican Mitt Romney says the president has the right to do is find to pursue every legal avenue the one has but i think what has to be careful in the choice of words i think i think when you say that the election was corrupt. Or stolen or rigged. Thats unfortunately rather rhetoric that gets picked up by authoritarian is around the world even some of President Trumps most loyal allies like former new Jersey Governor Chris Christie are growing wary of the challenges we cant back you blindly without evidence and if they dont come forward with the with the proof. Then its time to move on that the Trump Campaign could announce more legal action monday as biden plans to take his first action as president elect. Appointing his own Coronavirus Task force Transition Team member Pete Buttigieg says biden hopes to influence legislation during congresss lameduck session will decide on the right course of action but i think theres a sense of urgency throughout.

Meanwhile, former president George W Bush extending a warm congratulations to president elect biden and Vice President elect harris the day after clinching their victories in a statement posted online.
