[US Election] Transitional Period Can Begin
The head of the United States Administration of State (US) Emily Murphy, sent a letter to United States president-elect Joe Biden on Monday, November 23, 2020. The State Administration Agency can sign the presidential transition and Biden can officially begin the post-election hand-over process US last November 3.
"I am taking this case seriously and since recent developments have involved lawsuits and certification of election results, I am submitting a letter today to make resources and services available to you (Biden)," reads Murphy's letter.
Previously incumbent President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter that he had recommended Murphy and his team to do what should be done on protocol matters. Trump did the same with his team.
Top US lawmakers and businessmen have put pressure on the State Administration for recognition in the November 3 elections. They also asked the State Administration Agency to disburse funds, to provide work space for the Biden team and the briefing.
Murpy was selected by Trump to become number one on the State Administration in 2017. He said he would officially confirm and approve a transitional government when the winner is clear.
"My decisions were not made by fear or favoritism," Murphy said.
Trump has repeatedly made false claims that he won the November 3 election. He has been pushing unsubstantiated claims for voting fraud for weeks.
Under the Presidential Transition Act 1963, the United States State Administration was not given a deadline to take action. However, in its history, the institution mentioned the name of a winner not long after it was full of news.
Biden is planned to take the seat of President of the United States on January 20, 2020 after winning enough electoral votes. Democrat Biden led the popular vote with more than 6 million votes.
Meanwhile, Trump's Republican counterparts have slowly begun to split from President Trump in recent days by insisting that the transition process begin immediately.
