| Tell the Trump Administration: Efforts to halt, question, or interfere with President-elect Biden's transition are not only outrageous, they threaten the health and security of our country. We demand a seamless transition of power! | Transitioning between Presidential administrations is complicated, even without a raging pandemic. But instead of proactively ensuring that the American people's interests are served by a smooth transition, the Trump administration has thrown up every roadblock possible in the face of Biden, with many Republicans waiting 6 weeks or more to admit that Biden won! This is a disaster in the making. You can't half-ass a Presidential transition even in the best of times, and this is far from the best of times. Tell the Trump administration: You must change your tune and do everything possible to ensure a seamless transfer of power to the Biden administration, for the health and security of our nation! The 9/11 commission report found that the delay in transition from Clinton to Bush while Florida counted and re-counted its votes in the 2000 election could have contributed to intelligence gaps that allowed the 9/11 attacks to go undetected. The threats of a botched Biden-Trump transition aren't theoretical. The same number of people killed on 9/11 are dying of COVID every day. But Donald Trump isn't taking any of this more seriously. Reports yesterday from CNN say that Trump is planning to squat in the White House after Biden is being sworn in, possibly forcing the Secret Service to drag him out. That's not seamless. If Donald Trump won't assent to a seamless transfer of power, it's up to his Administration to do everything in their power to help the incoming Biden administration. Add your name now! Thanks, Mike Phelan Progress America |
