President-elect Joe Biden is expected to introduce his picks for his health team during an event Tuesday.
Biden announced Monday that he intends to nominate California Attorney General Xavier Becerra for secretary of Health and Human Services. Biden also named Dr. Anthony Fauci as his chief medical adviser on COVID-19, and Dr. Vivek Murthy has been picked to return to his post as surgeon general, which he held during the Obama administration.
The event comes a day after Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger recertified his state's presidential election results on Monday, following a second recount that once again upheld Biden's victory in the state.
Raffensperger, a Republican and a supporter of President Trump, also pushed back against a barrage of criticism from the president, telling reporters that “disinformation regarding election administration should be condemned and rejected. Integrity matters. Truth matters.”
FAST FACTS
- Raffensperger accused President Trump of throwing him "under the bus" in a column published last month.
- Georgia has counted the presidential vote three times – the initial count from the Nov. 3 election, an ensuing full election recount and audit mandated by Raffensperger, and a machine recount requested by the Trump campaign.
