Democrats Try to Avoid Fight with Trump Over Transition

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President-elect Joe Biden’s team are arguing that it makes the most strategic sense for now to let public pressure build on President Trump for preventing the transition from officially taking place, rather than using the power of the House Democrats’ majority to draw more attention to the matter,” CNN reports.

“Democrats are trying to avoid turning Trump’s refusal to accept the election results into a partisan fight, believing Trump will be in an untenable position if more Republicans join their calls to let the transition officially begin as the President’s legal case continues to collapse and states begin certifying the election results.”
