Biden addresses Trump victory and transition plans in White House remarks
pbs.org —
President-elect Donald Trump is preparing for a 75-day transition period before his inauguration on January 20. He plans to establish a new administration, differing from the one under President Joe Biden. Trump's team aims to fill about 4,000 government positions with political appointees. This includes key roles like the secretary of state and other Cabinet heads. With the Senate now under Republican control, around 1,200 of these appointments will require confirmation, which may streamline the process for Trump’s selections.
