Trump transition will continue to run on private donors despite striking deal with Biden administration

President-elect Donald Trump’s transition will continue to rely solely on money from private donors, a break from norms that will allow his team to raise unlimited sums.

Trump announced an agreement this week with the Biden administration that allowed his team to begin coordinating with agencies on the transition, though progressives have raised concerns over the transition’s funding stream. That’s because, so far, the president-elect has declined to accept transition resources from the General Services Administration for the likes of administrative support, office space, and equipment.
