There are new efforts in the Trump administration to obstruct the Biden-Harris transition team. The president-elect has been preparing for months to take power, but since President Trump won't admit defeat, he's being denied access to essential government resources. Attorney General William Barr issued a new memo paving the way for prosecutors to investigate claims of voter fraud, even though they're unsubstantiated. While the Trump administration continues to hold up the transition, President-elect Biden's team is considering taking legal action. More than ten million Americans have been infected with COVID-19 since the pandemic began. That includes more than one million new cases since the end of October, the worst stretch of infections so far in this country. The U.S. government is gearing up to roll out multiple vaccines when they're ready. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar joins us to discuss those efforts.

More than 24 hours after Election Day, we still have no clear winner in the presidential race. But Joe Biden is ahead in electoral votes, leading President Trump 253 to 213. We're paying special attention today to Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. If Biden wins any two of those, he'll get to 270, the number required for victory. In Arizona, pro- Trump demonstrators gathered outside the building where votes are being counted in Maricopa County. In Pennsylvania, with roughly 763,000 ballots remaining officials are still not giving a timeline as to when they will have all of the ballots counted. President Trump is demanding a recount in Wisconsin, where Democratic candidate Joe Biden leads by just over 20,000 votes, and CBS News projects Biden as the presumptive winner. There's a new U.S. record for coronavirus cases, with more than 100,000 in a single day.
