I guess we can put this under the heading "Better late than never." Trump affirmed Murphy's decision to start the transition – and then he tweeted, "Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good fight, and I believe we will prevail!" Delusional Donald lost the popular vote by 6,069,294 and lost in the Electoral College 306 to 232 – and he still thinks he will win a second term. Wow.
GSA says Biden transition can formally begin
CNN, Nov 23 2020 6:41 PM ET
The General Services Administration has informed President-elect Joe Biden that the Trump administration is ready to begin the formal transition process, according to a letter from Administrator Emily Murphy sent Monday afternoon and obtained by CNN. The letter is the first step the administration has taken to acknowledge President Donald Trump's defeat, 16 days after Biden was declared the winner in the election.
Murphy said she had not been pressured by the White House to delay the formal transition and did not make a decision "out of fear or favoritism." She wrote, "Please know that I came to my decision independently, based on the law and available facts. To be clear, I did not receive any direction to delay my determination." The letter signals that Murphy has formally signed off on Biden's victory, a normally perfunctory process known as ascertainment. The move will allow the transition to officially begin, permitting current administration agency officials to coordinate with the incoming Biden team and providing millions in government funding for the transition.
