Its actually more like being found guilty in the court of public opinion and then actually going to trial. Since the counts are still being done and the results being contested and the electoral college doesnt actually log their votes until January, the only thing that has happened is that the media and the public have declared him the winner. There is nothing official about it.
I dont know if the court cases have merit or not, or what will happen. I waited the 4 days it took for the powers that be decided who the president was because thats how they are decided. Not by us
Without Trump's challenges to the votes reported by each state, Biden will be declared the winner and inaugurated in January.
These official reports from the states can't be compared to "public opinion". They're vote totals.
And now, as is his right, Trump has a method to officially challenge the election results before January.

Clara, the vote totals aren't complete. Until they are, Biden can't be declared president. Yes, it looks like he will be our president. I seriously doubt any recounts or challenges will lead to enough of a change in votes to change his apparent win, but until the votes are completely tallied - PA has extra time to count, for example - and the votes are officially reported, you can't really say president-elect. It's a technicality, but not without merit.
Considering the fact that people of color have been hit hardest by this virus - their infection rate and death rates are significantly higher than for the white population - you'd need someone whose speciality it is to "focus on promoting health and health care equity for structurally marginalized populations" in your group of experts.
That's what a task for is, Dark. A group of people with various expertise in an area, to add their skill and knowledge for every aspect of the problem.
And THAT's why it's important to have a president who will assemble very skilled people to collaborate to solve the country's issues we're facing. That's what an excellent leader does. Find talent, and put it to use.
So what solution do you think that this committee will find to the problem of "people of color" contracting coronavirus? I'll bet that they'll recommend social distancing, wearing masks, and increased testing.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, President Bidden assembles a real COVID Task Force
This is like bringing in the rookie quarterback after the team is 50 points ahead. All the hard work was done by the folks over the last 9 months.
I don't understand what the fuss is about.
Biden, who is not yet president or even president-elect, has clearly stated during the campaign he would immediately go to work on covid. He is putting together a transition team for this purpose to hit the ground running.
It is absurd to think this team will start from zero and not build on the progress the science community has done. I would not be surprised if some of the current folks will be asked. I doubt Pence will be one of them, though.
What is the problem with this? This is one of the reasons he got elected.
Probably saving a seat for Fauci once he escapes from 45s looney bin, but President Biden is not being distracted by the ex-president's temper tantrums and is getting work done.
This is what real presidents do.
Thank You President Biden!!!!
VACCINE....biden isn`t the president. Trump got it done.
Of course it’s still a thing.
My son can’t go to school.
I can’t go to any sports events or concerts.
Our family can’t eat indoors at restaurants.
We can’t travel internationally to visit our family and friends around the world.
The election has not been determined no matter what you think your fave MSM feedback loop is telling you.
He's president elect. He.got more votes therefore he wins. That's usually how it works here in America.
