Trump, a member of the Republican party, has claimed that there was widespread voter fraud in the November 3 election, but he has not provided any evidence to support this allegation. Despite not acknowledging Joe Biden's victory since the former vice president secured the Electoral College more than two weeks ago, Trump's announcement on Monday was the closest he has come to conceding defeat. The Trump campaign's legal attempts to overturn the election results in key battleground states have largely been unsuccessful, and more and more Republican leaders, business executives, and national security experts are urging the president to start the transition process. Biden won 306 electoral votes from individual states, well exceeding the 270 needed for victory, while Trump earned 232. Additionally, Biden leads by more than 6 million votes in the national popular vote. He has started announcing members of his team before receiving government funding or a concession from Trump, causing Democrats to criticize him for undermining US democracy. The General Services Administration has informed Biden that he can begin the transition process, allowing him access to resources previously withheld due to legal challenges. Michigan's certification of Biden as the winner further reduces the chances of Trump's efforts to overturn the election results. Trump and his team are continuing to pursue legal options, but his recent tweet suggests that they are starting to accept the need to move on. Despite believing strongly in their case, Trump is recommending that his team follow protocol for the good of the country. A Trump adviser compared this to candidates being briefed during a campaign, emphasizing that it is not a concession. The Biden transition team is already planning meetings with federal officials to address the coronavirus pandemic and national security concerns. I express my gratitude to Emily Murphy at GSA for her unwavering dedication and loyalty to our Country. She has faced harassment, threats, and mistreatment, and I hope to prevent this from happening to her, her family, or GSA employees. Our case remains strong, and we will persevere. The decision by the GSA allows Biden's team to access federal funds and an official office for their transition until he takes office on January 20. This also enables Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to receive national security briefings, similar to what Trump receives. Trump administration officials have indicated that the Biden agency review teams may start engaging with Trump agency officials as early as Tuesday. In addition, Biden has announced key members of his foreign policy team, including Antony Blinken as Secretary of State, John Kerry as special climate envoy, Jake Sullivan as national security adviser, and Linda Thomas-Greenfield as US ambassador to the United Nations, all with significant government experience. Biden has expressed his intention to reverse Trump's "America First" policies. The 78-year-old Democrat is currently putting together a team to lead the country during a severe public health crisis. He is considering appointing former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen as the next Treasury secretary, according to two of his allies who requested anonymity. Additionally, Biden has selected Cuban-born lawyer Alejandro Mayorkas to lead the Department of Homeland Security, signaling a potential shift away from Trump's strict immigration policies.
