If Biden wins the election, then he becomes president on Jan 20, and I think Harris becomes vice-president on that day as well. It appears that the vice president is sworn in at the Jan.20 inauguration. I can't find any Wikipedia article that gives any info on whether she will take office when the new Senate convenes. If Pence becomes president by then, it appears the Senate President Pro-Tempore will fulfill the role as president of the Senate.
You might be right in the end, but I've read enough speculation from the legal community to believe that it will become a legal event of cosmic proportions, unless the Supremes take it on immediately. In that case, it becomes a cosmic political issue for 2022 and beyond. So it's a mess -- one best avoided like the 2000 election intervention that gave us GWB.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
