President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team called Monday on the General Services Administration to designate him the winner of the presidential election so that it can begin accessing federal resources needed to make a smooth transition into the White House.
A Biden transition official said that since the networks and other news organizations have declared Biden the winner, the GSA’s administrator should move quickly to “ascertain” the winner of the race, as federal law requires.
