GSA informs Biden it is ready to begin formal transition; Trump tweets that he recommended initial protocols
By Felicia Sonmez
Emily Murphy, head of the General Services Administration, sent a letter Monday to Biden informing him that her office is ready to begin the formal presidential transition process after weeks of delay.
The move was the clearest acknowledgment yet of Biden’s win over Trump.
“I take this role seriously and, because of recent developments involving legal challenges and certifications of election results, am transmitting this letter today to make those resources and services available to you,” Murphy wrote to Biden.
News of the letter was soon followed by tweets in which Trump thanked Murphy and said he had recommended initial protocols for the transition.
“I want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country,” Trump tweeted Monday night. “She has been harassed, threatened, and abused – and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA.”
He added: “Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good fight, and I believe we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.”
