The General Services Administration, the federal agency that must sign off on presidential transitions, told President-elect Joe Biden he could formally begin the hand-over process

WASHINGTON/WILMINGTON, Del. - After weeks of waiting, President Donald Trump’s administration on Monday cleared the way for President-elect Joe Biden to transition to the White House, giving him access to briefings and funding even as Trump vowed to continue fighting the election results.

The Trump campaign’s legal efforts to overturn the election have almost entirely failed in key battleground states, and a growing number of Republican leaders, business executives and national security experts have urged the president to let the transition begin. That means Biden’s team will now have federal funds and an official office to conduct his transition until he takes office on Jan. 20. It also paves the way for Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to receive regular national security briefings that Trump also gets.The GSA announcement came shortly after Michigan officials certified Biden as the victor in their state, making Trump’s legal efforts to change the election outcome even more unlikely to succeed.

The Biden transition team said meetings would begin with federal officials on Washington’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, along with discussions of national security issues.Two Trump administration officials said the Biden agency review teams could begin interacting with Trump agency officials as soon as Tuesday.

Representative Don Beyer, who led the Obama administration’s transition at the Commerce Department in 2008, said Murphy’s delay was “costly and unnecessary” and warned that Trump could still do great harm in his remaining time in office. Trump has been consulting his advisers for weeks, while eschewing standard responsibilities of the presidency. He has played several games of golf and avoided taking questions from reporters since the day of the election.

Hand-over or take-over process ?

Whole lot of denial in here

Same as Gore, but then the process stopped when Gore lost the case.

Fat is Fat, Kawa is Kawa, Share is Share. Injustice is injustice. error is error.

They also told Biden to quit threatening her team, her family and her pets. That’s who the tolerant left is.
