Whoever wins the presidential race on Nov. 5 will have 76 days to complete a complicated and massive effort to take over the federal government from outgoing President Joe Biden. That process has already begun for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. While most of the attention will fall on what the president-elect is doing, some scrutiny may fall on Biden’s transition out of office, including on how his team handles classified documents. In this series, the Washington Examiner will look at the challenges ahead for all three leaders’ transitions. Part one will look at Harris’s transition effort.

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s incumbency does not mean she will have an easy transition into the presidency, a process that is poised to be complicated by the reality of two wars and the politics of being a nominee who did not take part in a proper primary.
