Biden to start naming cabinet picks Tuesday as Trump resists
Nov 22, 2020
US President-elect Joe Biden will name on Tuesday the first picks to be part of his administration, his chief of staff said, even as Donald Trump continues to evoke unsubstantiated fraud and to insist he defeated the Democrat.
That announcement underscored Biden’s preparations to assume the presidency in January despite Trump’s moves — efforts increasingly seen as futile even by many Republicans — to try to undo the results of the November 3 vote.
“You are going to see the first of the president-elect’s cabinet picks on Tuesday of this week,” Biden’s chief of staff Ron Klain told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.
A growing number of senior Republican figures have either recognized Biden’s victory or at least urged the head of the General Services Administration — the usually low-profile agency that manages the federal bureaucracy — to release federal funds for the Biden transition.
Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who served as an advisor during the Trump transition, said on ABC that the president’s spate of legal challenges was a “national embarrassment.”
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, another Republican, said on CNN that Trump was making the country look like a “banana republic,” while ex-national security advisor John Bolton said on the same program that the president’s actions amounted to “throwing rocks through windows.”
