Donald Trump Allows Transition Process To Begin With Joe Biden's Team, Says ‘Do What Needs To Be Done’

President Donald Trump came his closest yet to admitting election defeat on November 23. This comes after the government agency meant to ease Joe Biden's transition into the White House said it was finally lifting its unprecedented block on assistance. Trump acknowledged it was time for the General Services Administration to "do what needs to be done”. In the same tweet, he insisted that he was still refusing to concede, saying, "Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good fight, and I believe we will prevail!" General Services Administration chief Emily Murphy on November 23 told President-elect Joe Biden that the Trump administration is making federal resources available for his transition into office. This means that Biden's team will now have access to funds, office space and the ability to meet with federal officials. Earlier, Biden announced a foreign policy & national security team crammed with veterans from the Barack Obama years, teeing up an end to the upheaval under Trump and a return to traditional US diplomacy. Meanwhile, the president has largely halted at least his public work duties, while heading out to a golf course he owns in Virginia half a dozen times since the election.
