General Services administrator officially allows Biden to begin transition process

President-elect Joe Biden will be allowed to start the formal presidential transition.

Emily Murphy, administrator of the General Services Administration and the arbiter of when funds and fuller national security briefing access can be made available to the president-elect, sent a letter notifying Biden that she determined the process can begin on Monday, nearly three weeks after the Nov. 3 general election and more than two weeks after Biden was projected by major news organizations to be the winner of the presidential election.
