Blocked from the official intelligence briefing traditionally afforded to incoming presidents, Biden gathered virtually on Tuesday with a collection of intelligence, defence and diplomatic experts. None of the experts is currently affiliated with the U.S. government, raising questions about whether Biden is being provided the most up-to-date information about dangers facing the nation.
The moves reflect how Biden is adjusting to a historically tense transition. With no sign that Trump is prepared to facilitate soon a peaceful transfer of power, Biden and his team are instead working through a series of backup options to do the best they can to prepare for the challenges he will face as soon as he takes office in January.
A study released on Tuesday by the Center for Presidential Transition at the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service warned that an abbreviated transition could impair Biden's ability to fill the more than 1,200 administration jobs requiring Senate confirmation, including key Cabinet and sub-Cabinet posts on the front lines of addressing the pandemic.
Trump's decision to block the transfer of power has forced Biden to navigate the life-and-death business of vaccine distribution with limited information. Biden warned on Monday that "more people may die" if Trump continues to block his access to vaccine distribution plans and pandemic data.
Yeah bc he cheated and will be found out. Try journalism instead of your propaganda global shit.
Biden's transition team is like a car theif calling the registered owner for instructions on how the features work...
I’ve been curious of the officers for the transition team. I can stop worrying now, they’re not exactly just stuffed in one bedroom apartment... Very nice quarters.
