Biden to discuss plans to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to Americans, fast-food workers plan to strike and more things to start your Friday morning.

President-elect Joe Biden will deliver remarks in Wilmington, Delaware, Friday about his plan to administer COVID-19 vaccines to the U.S.

Biden has already said he wants Americans to get 100 million COVID-19 vaccine shots during the first 100 days of his administration, a lofty goal to reverse a slow start to the nation's vaccine rollout.But to this point, the president-elect has offered few details on how his administration would achieve the ambitious timeline.

The program will work in partnership with states, tribes and territories and make the vaccine free to everyone in the United States.

President-elect Joe Biden unveiled a $1.9 trillion coronavirus plan Thursday to turn the tide on the pandemic, speeding up the vaccine rollout and providing financial help to individuals.

Fast-food workers across the country plan to strike Friday to send a message to the incoming Biden administration as well as their employers to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

The federal minimum wage of $7.25 hasn't budged since 2009; President-Elect Joe Biden has made a minimum wage of $15 an hour a key goal.

Dustin Higgs is scheduled for execution on Friday, the last before next week’s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. Barring court intervention, the Trump administration will have executed a total of 13 prisoners by January, outnumbering any presidency since Franklin D.
