President-elect Joe Biden introduces former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm as energy secretary Saturday.

Granholm served two terms as Michigan's Governor and is experienced in dealing with the auto industry, which could be an advantage as the President-elect seeks to speed up the roll out of electric vehicles and the network of charging stations used to power them.
