President-elect Donald Trump is starting to build his new administration, focusing on cabinet and staff appointments. He aims to fill about 4,000 government positions, emphasizing loyalty in his selections. President Joe Biden has promised a peaceful transfer of power, congratulating Trump and stating, "On January 20th, we'll have a peaceful transfer of power here in America." Biden's team is preparing for the transition. With the Senate now under Republican control, Trump has an advantage as around 1,200 of his appointments will need Senate confirmation. Both teams are working to arrange a meeting between Biden and Trump.
