WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will meet virtually with several governors Thursday and are expected to focus on improving coordination between the federal and state responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The meeting will be held with the National Governors Association's executive committee.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, with whom Biden has a close relationship, serves as the NGA's chairman. The former chairman, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, will participate as well, a spokesperson said. Other members of the NGA executive committee include the governors of Arkansas, Alabama, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico and Utah; it's not yet confirmed if all will attend.

In the closing weeks of his 2020 presidential campaign, Biden said that if he’s elected, he would reach out to the governor of every state, as well as mayors and local officials, to figure out what support they need to respond to the ongoing pandemic.
