Trump, Harris could start White House transition at same time. Here’s how.

[Criag]

THE 20-24 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS JUST DAYS AWAY NOW – AND ONCE AMERICA CHOOSES WHO OUR NEXT LEADER WILL BE… IT’LL BE 77 DAYS UNTIL THEY OFFICIALLY TAKE OFFICE.

DURING THAT TIME, THE WINNER WILL GET THEIR ADMINISTRATION READY TO TAKE OVER FROM PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN’S.

WHAT WAS HISTORICALLY A TIME OF BIPARTISANSHIP ENDED UP BEING FRAUGHT WITH TENSION IN 20-20 – AS THEN-PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ALLIES FOUGHT TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION RESULTS, FALSELY CLAIMING BIDEN’S WIN WAS “STOLEN” AND DELAYING THE TRANSITION.

NOW, A NEW LAW WILL START THE TRANSITION BETWEEN ADMINISTRATIONS SOONER – NO MATTER WHO WINS.

AND UNDER THIS NEW RULE – **IF** NEITHER TRUMP NOR VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS CONCEDES *BOTH* WILL GET ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENT FUNDS AND LOGISTICAL SUPPORT TO BEGIN THE TRANSITION.

THAT MEANS WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE TWO VERY DIFFERENT GOVERNMENTS WAITING IN THE WINGS FOR WEEKS TO TAKE OVER.

BEFORE THE 20-22 PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION IMPROVEMENT ACT BECAME LAW – THE HEAD OF THE GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION HAD TO GIVE THE O-K.

IN 20-20 – THE ADMINISTRATOR SAID SHE COULDN’T DO THAT BECAUSE TRUMP WAS STILL CHALLENGING HIS LOSS IN COURT.

NOW, UNDER THE NEW LAW, THE PROCESS **MUST** BEGIN FIVE DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION… EVEN IF MORE THAN ONE CANDIDATE HAS NOT CONCEDED.

THE LAW EFFECTIVELY MEANS THE G-S-A NO LONGER HAS TO GIVE THE GO-AHEAD BEFORE ALLOWING THE CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATES TO GET TRANSITION SUPPORT SERVICES.

IT ALSO STATES SERVICES FOR EACH CANDIDATE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL “SIGNIFICANT LEGAL CHALLENGES” THAT COULD ALTER ELECTORAL OUTCOMES HAVE BEEN QUOTE “SUBSTANTIALLY RESOLVED” – OR WHEN ELECTORS FROM EACH STATE MEET IN MID-DECEMBER TO FORMALLY CHOOSE AN ELECTORAL COLLEGE WINNER.
