Biden, who formally introduced his public health team on Tuesday, also announced he would nominate retired Army General Lloyd Austin as the country’s first Black defense secretary. Getting children back to school will be a national priority in the first 100 days, Biden said. “In 100 days, we can change the course of the disease and change life in America for the better,” said Biden, who takes office on January 20. Biden introduced California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a Latino former congressman, as his nominee for secretary of health and human services. Jeff Zients, an economic adviser known for his managerial skills, will serve as Biden’s coronavirus “czar,” overseeing the pandemic response, including the vaccine distribution.
