becerra emerged as a possible contender for the job just a few days ago. and he will inherit a very important task as biden and his administration are trying to prepare their plans for tackling the coronavirus pandemic. becerra's nomination, if he's confirmed, would also lend some more diversity to president-elect biden's cabinet. thus far he has nominated four people of color and becerra would be the fifth once he makes that official. he is of hispanic descent. we have heard from the congressional hispanic caucus in the past week pushing the biden transition team to appoint more latinos to his cabinet. becerra had often been thought to be considered for the job but biden has decided to nominate him for that all-important dhhs cabinet position. biden and his team have been crafting their plans for the pandemic right after he won the general election. his team rolled out that coronavirus task force. we are expecting biden to announce other members of his health team early this week. one of those being the covid coordinator for the white house. so biden, the

and becerra emerged as a resistance star. he was a public face for a lot of lawsuits, particularly on the aca, on immigration law, going after the trump administration, and certainly has not sat well with a lot of republicans in congress. you can predict now that they'll go after his lack of expertise in viruses and public health, that would be a clear line of attack for republicans that wanted to derail the nomination. i think working in becerra's favor, he spent a lot of time in congress, he understands how that body works, has some of those relationships, so he's certainly no stranger to the dealings of congress and the strange turns that confirmation battles can take up there. >> right. you can see the right already lining up, deciding early on if you pick fights, which fights are you going to pick. that's one they seem determined to pick out of the box. one of the most fascinating things about the transition, so many, because you have a biden administration, democrat coming in to replace a republican, so many compass poi

becerra would be the first latino to hold that job. political experts say his qualifications on immigration and criminal justice issues are assets that could serve him well in this role. one expert we spoke to believes biden made a strategic choice in picking becerra. >> latinos are four times more likely to be hospitalized with covid-19, a rate higher than any other racial ethnic group. if confirmed by the united states senate, it will be a latino who will be leading these important efforts. >> if becerra's confirmed, governor newsom would have to fill multiple high ranking positions including vice president-elect kamala harris's senate seat. >>> developing news on capitol hill, a covid-19 relief bill could be announced as soon as today. the proposal for a 9$908 billio package is expected to include an extra $300 per person in federal weekly unemployment benefits. it will also reauthorize the paycheck protection program to help struggling businesses. there will not be another $1,200 stimulus check issued to bank accounts. >>> just ahe

in terms of becerra, all he's done is file lawsuits. you are talking about getting over 300 million more people vaccinated and that means he has to have a working knowledge of health and insurance infrastructure and he doesn't have any of that. and i think that because he checks the box, that's not enough qualification for him to administer something as critical as a life-saving vaccine when we are in the middle of a crippling pandemic. >> harris: if it were the box about what the job are going to be that will be the correct one. >> kennedy: it is not that box. >> harris: i seem to be stuck on this square. anyway, fox news alert, we are awaiting president trump set to sign an executive order on the long-awaited covid vaccine, putting americans first. how today's action will help all americans overcome the virus, plus, small businesses under siege. a new report shows the devastating effects of lockdowns on restaurant owners on the nation's economy. congresswoman ilhan omar of minnesota is under fire today as well. her husband got a massi
