Biden added four new co-chairs to the team led by his longtime ally Ted Kaufman: New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, former Obama economic adviser Jeffrey Zients, Louisiana Representative Cedric Richmond and his campaign adviser Anita Dunn. “We are preparing for this transition amid the backdrop of a global health crisis and struggling economy,” Kaufman said. “This is a transition like no other, and the team being assembled will help Joe Biden meet the urgent challenges facing our country on day one.”

Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, who has been advising Biden on the pandemic response, has also joined the transition team.

Keep adding baggage, Trump will be lighter to fly. Thank you Biden. Hey, by the way. You are no JesusChrist. You just love to live in Caesarea Philippi.

Smart move. Having at least one brain on the team is a good idea. Usually.

This administration actually will have the best people. Buttigieg - Buttigieg - Buttigieg!

Trump2020

Wow !, this came from BEHIND all expectations ! do you thinks joe likes a curve on life ?

One for sure i can say that your future president will be old and stupid🤣

Love PeteButtigieg ! Awesome to have them working together!

EPA and all trumpanzees need to be arrested and investigated one after one

Joe: I want you on my team, cutie. Pete: Sniff me, daddy. Sniff me real good.

Transition team? From what? Obscurity? To where? His basement?

Looks like the cartoon man on mad magazine

He received just about every academic award available and graduated Harvard magna cum laude and phi beta capa the went to Oxford then drove in combat in Afghanistan. Why diminish his accomplishments

We’re so screwed

That’s rich...with Trump surging, defuse by picking a transition team. Do it if it makes you feel better!

PeteButtigieg needs to be a bigger part of the administration and so does SenDuckworth .

Consolidating the good old corrupt establishment elite to take charge, eh?

So glad people with EXPERIENCE will be there!!

All Unemployed except for the few paid gigs on CNN & MSNBC to spews lies and hatred

Building the Dream Team...

If Biden gets in Mexico will build a wall to keep Americans out.

Excellent!

one has to question the intelligence of the American democrat when you look at who they could have had on the ballot and who they will have on the ballot. Mayor Pete was the person for the job. Biden is not.

Good to include the young generation

Oh great, woman hater Buttigieg. He was so condescending toward women in their debates... yuck!

I've spent the whole day reading up on the 'safe harbor provision' as well as legal briefs on 'Bush vs Gore' it was a fascinating experience...I want to understand how this plays out...it is going to be a wild ride. Hope Biden crushes trump in Florida.

So should Trump get a FISA warrant like Biden did to the Trump campaign?

What a joke!!! Two of the most dishonest people in politics. And what about those smirks? Sad!

Smart move. Mayor Pete really nailed it on Fox this week.

Buttigig transition to what? Interesting

Smart choice! Mayor Pete is a solid asset to the team. I feel more optimistic about the future with Biden’s choices.

Careful, he is now touching men too!

Lmao. More failure. Now call off the Dnc Nazi youth group antifa

'The chicken herder or owner ' his name means in Maltese/Arabic.😄

This is leadership!

Transition to what? Female?

Don’t quit your day job

🐀🧀

Buttigieg should have been the VP candidate ....then Biden had some chance.

what a horror

Fantastic! WinTheEra

Lolol Rival? Seriously? Lord Buttigieg was never a serious contender & certainly wasnt running against Biden He was nothing but a wanna-be aristocrat sent in by his corporate overlords as a hired gun to kill Warren’s campaign in return for the power he sees as his birthright.

Gettin’ better all the time.

Mediocre is the goal.

Is he being transitioned from the basement to a retirement care facility?

Democrats are already claiming victory. Talking about transition team, Trumps willingness to leave office.. sounds like they are trying to speak it into existence. They are in for a rude awakening come November.

That’s called Democrats working together to get Trump out of the White House justSaying

shuce, eoh voke

More blacks killing blacks but govt cant confront toxic culture!!

Transition to what? Losing a landslide?

Yay.... Rice and Yates.... ❤️

Now it makes utmost sense why Buttfacegieg was on the news talking trash the last few days. Cause he's now part of the Demokkkrats main ticket. Too bad he won't ever be needed, eh?

Swamp rats

Yep, Kamala Prez and Buttigieg VP when they 25th amendment Joe if they cheat hard enough.

lol what is this imagine trying to say?

Democrats buried their city's down and attack people vote the bums out

Looks like a peaceful transition to me.

Niiice

.....is Biden really looking at Bootygigs butt? 🤣

He is an impressive individual, I'm glad he will be working for this country.

Why? I'm voting for Joe. But after this I'm done. Pete is a weasel. And the MSM created him.

Uggggg

He also needs to talk to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders!

JoeBiden don't look at that man's ass like that I know LGBT endorsed you ,,,

Omg. What a pathetic joke

The transition into obscurity and irrelevance?

while NOTRE DAME rushes to fawn after BIDEN's new TEAM MEMBER----both are big supporters of abortion. NOT TRUMP, however !! NDAlumni NotreDame realDonaldTrump

Biden is really trying to lose. He deliberately angers progressives while trying to win over Republicans who will still vote for Trump anyways.

Joke

More neoliberales in the stablishment team.

TRUMP, DESTROYING ❗❓

I wouldn’t waste the time........

I ❤️ Butti. Solid choice. JoeBiden

Remember after he won in Iowa and ignored reporters as he left smiling, then dropped out. It’s a game

This is a disgusting picture. Please remove. 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀

Reminder to Reuters, the election is November 3. There will be no transition team for Joe Biden.

Biden meets with Jacob Blake's family during a visit to KenoshaThe former vice president met for 90 minutes with the family of Jacob Blake, a Black man whose shooting by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, sparked protests, some of which turned violent. Jacob Blake sexually assaulted a women with her child in bed next to her. WTF happened to MeToo? He should have not been shot, but Biden as a presidential candidate meeting with a sexual predator is SHAMEFUL! Joe Biden just met with Jacob Blake Sr, a virulent anti-Semite who believes Hitler was 'a Jewish man who killed 10 million Europeans', among his many other, hateful stupidities. My colleagues in media don't seem to think this is a big deal. I guess the metoo is no longer a trendy thing for the Left or is metoo only trendy when Dems are making up false rape allegations against Conservatives nominated for the Supreme Court?
