  • President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a required agreement with President Joe Biden's White House to allow his transition team to coordinate with the existing federal workforce ahead of taking office on Jan.

The article from AP News discusses the transition process following the U.S. presidential election where President-elect Joe Biden was officially recognized by the General Services Administration (GSA) to begin the formal transition. This acknowledgment came after weeks of delay due to President Donald Trump's refusal to concede the election. The GSA's decision allowed Biden's team access to federal resources, office space, and funding necessary for a smooth transition. The article highlights the implications of this delay, including potential setbacks in national security briefings and policy planning. It also notes Trump's continued claims of election fraud, despite no evidence being presented to support these allegations, and his administration's mixed messages regarding cooperation with the transition. The piece concludes with reactions from both sides of the political spectrum, with Democrats expressing relief and Republicans largely remaining silent or supportive of Trump's stance.
