The green-lighting of the Trump-Biden transition by the General Services Administration on Nov 23 finally offers some temporary reprieve amid this period of anxiety.
While Trump’s team has already failed to delay vote certification in key battleground states such as Michigan and Georgia, the US’ tradition of a long post-election period means that there is still some runway for Trump to interfere in the transition process along the way, including the meeting of the Electoral College on Dec 14 and the counting of electors’ ballots on Jan 6 in Congress.
Domestically, Trump’s lack of engagement on a new stimulus bill so far, along with the expiration of sources of support for Americans at the end of the year such as unemployment insurance and eviction moratoriums, could further undermine the US economy and exacerbate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, both of which already threaten to weigh a Biden administration down during its term in office.

Sad to see how is blatantly partisan. Local news outlet. You’ve no cred. Disgusting.
Wake up CNA. Trump has never conceded and will never! He’s won by a landslide! Watch the public hearing. It’s only the beginning!
