With Kash Patel, a loyal Trump supporter will lead the transition from the US Department of Defense to the future Biden administration. A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed it. Patel, formerly a senior counterterrorism adviser at the National Security Council, joined the Pentagon two weeks ago after Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper and other top advisers and replaced them with supporters. Patel had spread conspiracy ideas about the future president of the United States, Joe Biden, several times in the past. First, CNN reported on Patel’s leadership role in the handover.
+++ 23:50 Biden receives a “Presidential Report” and contact with all federal authorities +++
The “Presidential Briefing” is pending for the winner of the election, Joe Biden, so that he can assume his official functions in the United States. With the General Services Administration (GSA) determining the election, the president-elect’s transition team is now speaking with all federal agencies, an official involved told CNN. In a letter yesterday, GSA Director Emily Murphy informed the Democrat that the Trump administration was ready to begin the formal transition process. The letter is something like the first step that the United States government has taken to acknowledge the defeat of current President Donald Trump. In the election two weeks ago, the Republican lost to challenger Biden, but still refuses to admit defeat.
+++ 10:41 pm Pennsylvania, Michigan and Nevada confirm official election results for Biden +++
Pennsylvania announced this morning that the results of the state’s presidential election had been confirmed. All 67 counties in the state presented their results yesterday, and following certification by Elections Director Kathy Boockvar, Governor Tom Wolf signed the Biden Certificate of Election Declaration. The final vote was 50 percent for Biden and 48.8 percent for Trump. Michigan, where the Democrat won by 154,000 votes, and Nevada, where Biden won by more than 33,000 votes, officially confirmed the result.
+++ 21:53 CDC applauds for Trump’s departure: “We’ve been waiting for that” +++
The leadership of the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which has been harshly criticized by the Trump White House since the beginning of the crown crisis, looks forward to the transition team of Biden and the change a new administration will bring. . “This is what we were waiting for,” a senior CDC official told CNN. The senior official added that a “rebuilding of the agency” is expected under President-elect Joe Biden. When asked if CDC executives were more enthusiastic, the officer responded emphatically, “Yes!” There seems to be more excitement that the CDC can resume its regular briefings, which were halted by the Trump administration at the start of the pandemic.
+++ 21:14 Trump turns to the nation, but only to praise the stock market +++
US stocks let the Dow Jones hit 30,000 for the first time. This appears to be the result of the General Services Administration’s announcement Monday night that the formal transition to the Biden administration will begin. This move and renewed hopes for the early availability of a Covid-19 vaccine may have mitigated investors’ current concerns about a peaceful transfer of power.
President Trump, along with Vice President Mike Pence, then went to the White House meeting room to address the nation in a one-minute speech. Because of the stock market, I’d like to “congratulate everyone.” “That is a sacred number of 30,000, no one thought they would ever see it.” It is the ninth time since early 2020 and the 48th time we have “broken records” in the stock market during the Trump administration. Trump did not answer questions, nor did he address President-elect Joe Biden or the worsening of the Covid situation with more than 250,000 deaths in the United States.
+++ 20:13 Trump undermines election results by 400 tweets and plays golf +++
An analysis by the “New York Times” shows that in the three weeks since Election Day, President Trump was only present on Twitter. Since November 3, he has posted around 550 tweets, roughly three-quarters (around 400 tweets) of which attempted to undermine the integrity of the election results. Meanwhile, Trump’s calendar has been remarkably empty in all three weeks, according to the newspaper, especially compared to his pre-election calendar, when he often attended multiple demonstrations in a single day. From November 4 to 22, Trump had only eight official appointment days, but he managed to keep his weekend golf plans at his Virginia club.
+++ 19:36 Biden presents the cabinet that is supposed to “lead the world” +++
The Americans were able to catch a glimpse of the national security team proposed by the future president of the United States, Joe Biden. Speaking at the presentation, Biden told some of his cabinet nominees that his national security team will lead the way in ensuring that “America is back” to “lead the world.” His team “would embody my fundamental belief that America is stronger when it works with its allies.”
Biden said the nominees show “experience and leadership, renewed thought and perspective, and unrelenting faith in America’s promise.” Among the team members: former Secretary of State John Kerry, who will assume leadership on climate change. Overall, Biden’s cabinet proposals signal a departure from President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy and a return to global engagement. The new president will have as secretary of state long-time advisor Antony Blinken, lawyer Alejandro Mayorkas as secretary of Homeland Security (this is the first time that a Hispanic who is also an immigrant will take office), Linda Thomas-Greenfield as United States Ambassador to the United Nations and Jake Sullivan as National Appoint Security Advisor. In the United States, many high-ranking government positions and ministers must be approved by the Senate. So far it is unclear whether Republicans or Democrats will have a majority there because there are two pending second-round elections in January.
