Despite progress against combating a resurgence of COVID-19, President Joe Biden warned in a visit to the Chicago area Thursday that the nation still has a "long way to go" to defeat the pandemic as he touted a White House mandate that large employers require workers to get vaccinated or submit to weekly testing.
