Trump ushered in a formal transition to the Biden administration, which in turn celebrated a new step.
Donald Trump gave the green light on Monday (11/23) for a formal transition between his presidency and that of his successor, Democrat Joe Biden.
Trump said on Twitter that he asked the US federal agency responsible for the transition, the General Services Administration (GSA), to “do what is necessary” in the process, although he indicated that he will continue to dispute the outcome of the elections held earlier this month.
“Our case remains STRONG, we will keep up the good fight and I believe we will succeed. However, with the best interests of the country in mind, I ask Emily and her team to do whatever it takes regarding initial protocols, and I asked her to let my team do the same, “wrote the current president, referring to Emily Murphy, head of the GSA.
The agency said, in turn, that it is recognizing Biden as an “apparent winner.”
Previously, Biden’s victory in the state of Michigan was officially certified, confirming a major defeat for Trump.
Certification is the formalization of the total votes and the indication of which delegates will represent the State in the Electoral College.
‘I did not receive any guidance to delay my decision’
Murphy said he had not been pressured by the White House on the timing of his decision.
“To be transparent, I did not receive any guidance to postpone my decision,” he wrote in a letter to Biden as part of the transition protocol.
“However, I suffered threats online, by phone and in the mail directed at my safety, my family, my team and even my pets in an attempt to force me to make this decision prematurely.”
“Even in the face of thousands of threats, I remained committed to complying with the law.”
On Twitter, Trump also mentioned the threats: “I want to thank Emily Murphy at the GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our country. She has been harassed, threatened and abused, and I do not want this to happen to her, her family or Employees. of GSA “.
After Murphy’s communication, Biden’s team showed satisfaction.
“Today’s decision is a necessary step to begin taking action in the face of the challenges facing our country, including controlling the pandemic and recovering our economy,” said a statement.
This final decision is a final administrative action to formally initiate the transition process with federal agencies ”.
