President Trump’s delay in transitioning to President-elect Joe Biden “hurts out national security,” John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, told Politico.
Said Kelly: “The president, with all due respect, does not have to concede. But it’s about the nation. It hurts our national security because the people who should be getting up to speed, it’s not a process where you go from zero to 1,000 miles per hour.”
