Biden, Harris launch transition website — less than 24hrs after election victory
Joe Biden, the president-elect of the United States of America, and the vice president, Kamala Harris, have launched a transition website ahead of their inauguration.
Both emerged winners of the 2020 US election on Saturday, defeating the incumbent president, Donald Trump.
Biden was projected winner after results from Pennsylvania meant his lead was now unassailable by his opponent.
The transition website details priorities of the incoming administration which include COVID-19, economic recovery, racial equality, and climate change.
“We aren’t just going to rebuild what has worked in the past. This is our opportunity to build back better than ever,” a statement on the website reads.
“The transition is responsible for ensuring that the transfer of power between the current administration and the Biden-Harris administration is successful. Led by President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, co-chairs, a diverse advisory board, and respected leaders and staff from across sectors, the transition team is preparing to help President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris meet the urgent challenges facing our nation on Day One.
“A Biden-Harris administration, propelled by the foundation laid by the transition, will lead a just and equitable recovery that rebuilds a strong, inclusive middle class and builds an economy for the future.
“The transition team is focused on building infrastructure and planning for the next administration. The efforts of the transition focus on determining implementation options for policy, developing management agendas for federal agencies, and selecting personnel to serve in the administration.”
The website also provides information on the transition agenda, as well as the biography of both Biden and Harris.
A Twitter account, @Transition46, which focuses on the transition, has also been launched, garnering over 300,000 followers.
