Joe biden's presidency starts on inauguration day but with a pandemic and battered economy, he's trying to get a head start on addressing the nation's challenges.

Cbs news correspondent michael george is in wilmington, delaware with more.

The day after his victory speech, president-elect joe biden attended church and stopped by the gravesite of his son beau.

''the people of this nation have spoken.

They've delivered us a clear victory, a convincing victory.'' at saturday night's rally, biden said he plans to form a covid task force, as new cases in the u-s continue to reach record heights.

''they're going to take the-- the biden covid plan after a round of sunday golf, president trump tweeted about the election outcome.

''since when does the lamestream media call who our next president will be?

We have all learned a lot in the last two weeks!

Https: trump's attorney rudy giuliani says lawsuits challenging the 2020 election results will be filed this week.

On sunday the trump campaign held a news conference in las vegas, alleging issues with nevada ballots.

''this campaign has not laid our eyes on a ballot signature, excuse me envelope signature and a voter roll signature on a single one.'' so far, president trump has offered no evidence of his claims of voter fraud.

Here in wilmington delaware, where the president elect is known as "uncle joe", many told us they've seen first-hand the qualities he'll bring to the white house.

''it's just so nice to see the community coming together behind someone who's going to hopefully do so much good for all of us.'' and with its hometown hero heading to the white house, this city of just over 70 thousand is about to get an even bigger place on the political map.

The senate is heating up in georgia.

News 12's winston reed spoke with republican and democratic party members about the importance of the runoff election.

The race for senate seats is not over in georgia.

The campaign trail for david purdue, jon ossoff, kelly leoffler and raphaeal warnock extends to janurary 2021.

"who would have ever thought that georgia would basically be the center of the political universe right now.

Basically deciding whether or not the u.s. senate is going to be controlled by the democrats or the republicans."

Georgia's district 1 state representative colton moore says previous voters for shane hazel could spill over onto senator david purdue's ticket.

"when it comes to the ossoff/ purdue race i voted for shane hazel the libetarian.

I think there's going to be a lot more folks like me who end up coming out for purdue."

Stacy abrams believes that the runoff election in janurary will mirror the democratic turnout at the polls on super tuesday.

"one we got jon ossoff and rapheal wornack at the top of these tickets -working together to make certain that voters come back.

Number two we will have the investment and the resources that have never followed our runoffs in georgia."

"there will be hundreds of millions of dollars spent in georgia on both sides for this election coming up."

State senator jeff mullis is also hoping for a record number turnout.

"that will be a problem for both sides.

Main elections people show up but runoffs -special elections- you don't always have the same kind of attitude, temperment, or people coming out to vote.

So, we're going to have to make sure we get everbody coming out to vote on the right side -the republican side to re-elect david purdue and kelly leoffler."

The last time georgia was a blue state was 1992.

The idea of the senate flipping ignites local residents like nathan gibson of the walker ignites local residents like nathan gibson of the walker county democrats.

"if the senate gets flipped -oh golly- i think it's vitally important and i think that we have a really good chance of doing it.

Georgia's blue but it's not dark blue so we know what we got to do."

So for safety, about 5- thousand ballots were re-scanned.

""are you concerned that something like this could open you up to a lawsuit from the trump campaign?"

"no, because we, i mean, our numbers are balanced.

So, this is one of those things that you want to make sure you do and that's why you have time between election day and certification for labor to the process."

Democratic and republican officials were both notified of the initial discrepancy, and the re-scan was watched by observers from both parties.

The talk all week leading up to the titans game against the bears was tennessee's defense.

Could the boys in blue get it together as the worst third down defense in the league?

Not having defensive end jadeveon clowney in the lineup this week wasn't going to help.

Best medicine for a questionable defense?

Solid offense, kind of like this.

They were swarming.

Really just giving up nothing.

Really proud of those guys and how they played today."

Saturday, arkansas erased the vols 13 point lead almost immediately -- putting up a quick 24 points to secure the win.

Jeremy pruitt: "it's been an unusual year for some of these guys.

That's why i'm not discouraged.

I know we've got guys that's got good character, got good ability, and maybe we haven't played our best, maybe we haven't coached our best.

But i believe in these guys and we'll get it fixed."

The rams won 16 region titles, 32 playoff games and made it to the state championship three times under coach t's guidance.

Turner's tyner team even became the first public school in hamilton county to win a state championship -- that was 1997.

Former mr. football finalist jeremiah batiste says he was didn't believe the news at first -- adding that coach t treated him like one of his own kids, and he was heartbroken.

Senior running back jeremiah sawyer says turner is like a father to him, always having his door open to talk about football or just life in general.

He says the team broke down in tears when they heard the news friday.

Hard to imagine tyner football without wayne turner.
