Former Vice President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, following days of ballot counting in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.

But meanwhile, the president-elect isn’t wasting any time in organizing his presidency, announcing the creation of a new coronavirus task force to combat the pandemic within the nation’s borders.
