Biden Transition Now Underway Following Trump Administration Authorization

The Biden transition has formally begun after the Trump Administration’s authorization. On Monday night, the General Services Administration formally approved the transition of government. Following this, the White House has also granted approval for President-elect Joe Biden to begin receiving the President’s Daily Briefings. These are top secret rundowns of threats and intelligence that aide the president and other top officials in making timely decisions about national security. After weeks of pushback, coordination efforts for Biden to receive his first briefings are now underway. Biden’s transition team is also now in contact with all federal agencies. They’re further coordinating meetings with the White House Covid Team to talk vaccine distribution. In addition, the Biden-Harris team has met with the head of the Department of Defense’s Transition Task Force. The president-elect said efforts to cooperate from the Trump Administration since their approval has been “sincere” and immediate.
