The Trump administration has finally authorized the Biden transition. General Services Administration head Emily Murphy said in a letter that Joe Biden, whom she referred to as "the apparent President-elect," is now able to get access to millions of dollars in federal funds and other resources to begin his transition to power. She said she came to her decision “independently.” Meanwhile, President Donald Trump tweeted that he recommended that Murphy “and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols.” He added that he would continue to fight the results.
What’s next for Biden’s transition team? Biden transition adviser Yohannes Abraham said in a statement, "In the days ahead, transition officials will begin meeting with federal officials to discuss the pandemic response, have a full accounting of our national security interests and gain complete understanding of the Trump administration's efforts to hollow out government agencies."
The authorization also means the Biden-Harris team finally gets its transition .gov domain. Until now, the team used buildbackbetter.com to host its transition website. Now it’s hosted at buildbackbetter.gov. Government domains are toughened to prevent against domain hijacking or spoofing, reported TechCrunch. Biden tweeted about the new link late Monday.
