5 key takeaways from Biden's Covid-19 plan

We are in a grim period, but if we continue to follow public health measures and increase vaccinations, the end of the pandemic is at least in sight, according to experts interviewed Friday in a webinar hosted by the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs. The webinar, “The Biden Administration Inherits the COVID-19 Crisis,” focused on the challenges President Joe Biden faces and the public health measures his administration has already rolled out over the past two days. Moderator Guian McKee, an associate professor of presidential studies at the Miller Center, began with some stark graphs showing the exponential rise of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the United States around the holiday season.

Kamala Harris: What the vice-president did on her first day

"The role of the vice-president was, frankly, to just be that heartbeat away from the president," said Barbara Perry, the director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia's Miller Centre. Unless the president died, or was seriously ill, the vice-president's job was largely to sit around and wait. For some vice-presidents, the dynamic meant holding a job you hoped would never be needed. "One of the vice-presidents in the early 20th Century said, 'Every day I ring the doorbell at the White House and hope the president will answer,'" Ms Perry said.
