Joe Biden won Michigan, Missouri, Idaho, and Mississippi with overwhelming support from African-Americans and with large margins among suburban and rural white voters.

As the coronavirus death toll grows globally, public service efforts are underway to educate and prepare the public, including washing hands with soap and water and keeping out of personal space. Vice President Mike Pence, who is leading the White House coronavirus task force, reiturates soap and water is more effective than hand sanitizers.
