WASHINGTON, Nov 24, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – President-elect Joe Biden’s team on Monday welcomed the long-delayed release of government aid for his transition team, a step he said was crucial to “a smooth and peaceful transfer of power.”
“The GSA administrator has ascertained President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as the apparent winners of the election, providing the incoming administration with the resources and support necessary to carry out a smooth and peaceful transfer of power,” Biden said in a statement.
General Services Administration head Emily Murphy, who denies acting under political pressure, has refused since the November 3 election to release the standard package of aid that her agency manages to Biden’s incoming team.
