Trump-Biden transition updates: Trump continues to tout he won election at Ga. rally

In their weekly transition press briefing, incoming White House press secretary Jen Psaki and Communications Director Kate Bedingfield said that members of the president-elect’s health team will be rolled out “early next week” and elaborated on Biden’s announcement that he would ask all Americans to wear a mask for 100 days on his first day in office.

Bedingfield reiterated that Biden would take action to mandate face coverings where he could and said more information would be made public in the coming weeks. 

“He's going to use the power that he has available to him to mandate mask-wearing in places where he has the authority to do so, including on federal lands and in interstate commerce," she said.

She also said that all 40-plus of the transition’s agency review teams are engaging with their counterparts in the federal government regularly and have held over 1,000 meetings thus far, noting the team’s meeting with the nation's top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci on Thursday as a sign of progress.

Vice President Mike Pence is heading to Georgia on Friday to headline an afternoon rally for GOP Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in the state's upcoming runoff elections -- races set to decide the overall control of the U.S. Senate.

Trump will be traveling to Georgia Saturday to support the candidates at an airport hangar rally hosted by the Republican National Committee. It will be Trump's first rally since losing the election.

Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp was slated to greet Pence upon his arrival in Savannah, but Kemp's Communications Director Cody Hall, tweeted Friday afternoon that he no longer will be "due to a family emergency."

The vice president's visit to Georgia comes as the president continues to slam the state's election process and its officials -- including Kemp -- in the aftermath of his loss there in the presidential election, and as a growing number of Republicans have expressed concerns that rhetoric coming from Trump and some allies could suppress GOP turnout for the runoff races on Jan. 5.

While Pence rallies for Purdue and Loeffler, former President Barack Obama will join a virtual rally for the Democratic contenders, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.

In a lengthy paper statement released Friday ahead of his afternoon speech, Biden lamented the "grim" November jobs report, saying it shows an economy "stalling" and confirms that the nation remains in "one of the worst economic and jobs crises in modern history."

Biden also cautioned that this report is just a snapshot of the economy prior to the deadly surge in cases the nation is seeing now, adding that the economic situation will get worse if Congress and Trump do not act in the coming weeks.

A $908 billion COVID-19 relief proposal advanced by a bipartisan group of Senators has gained momentum on Capitol Hill with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell speaking over the phone Thursday to discuss pandemic relief for the first time since the November election -- but the deal is not yet done as lawmakers work to craft the bill's final language.

Biden said in Friday's statement that while he is "encouraged" by the bipartisan $908 billion relief bill working its way through Congress, it is not nearly enough to stem the negative effects the pandemic has had on the American economy, calling it "just the start."

He reiterated that he and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are working on a plan they hope to get passed when they take office in January, encouraging the country to come together to beat back the virus.

Biden appeared before the 2020 International LGBTQ Leaders Conference Friday morning and in brief pre-recorded remarks to kick off the event pledged to bring the most “pro-equality” administration in history.

“A historic number of LGBTQ people ran for office this year, and they won, many of them. It's an honor to be an ally and have been on the ballot with all of you,” Biden said. “Vice President-elect Harris and I are committed to being the most pro-equality administration in history. But we can't do it without you.”

Biden also congratulated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on her receiving the Victory Institute’s History Maker Award, which recognizes "change-makers" who have led the LGBTQ community as elected officials or other public servants.

“You're an American treasure. And I can't wait to work together again with you to continue to fight for full equality and to usher in a new era of LGBTQ rights and the entire movement,” he said.

To fulfill this promise, Biden has vowed to eliminate executive orders deemed discriminatory to LGBTQ Americans and enacted under the Trump administration, including a current ban on transgender Americans from serving in the military, and to bring back an Obama-era protection that allowed transgender students to use bathrooms based on their gender identity.
