November 24, 2020 The head of the General Service Administration (GSA), Emily Murphy, wrote to President-elect Joe Biden, to inform him that the transition phase of powers can formally begin.

So far Emily Murphy, head of the General Services Administration, had refused to sign the winner's letter of assessment, effectively blocking the initiation of the transition process, including intelligence briefings to the president-elect, access of her staff to offices , government officials and resources. 



"I recommended the GSA administrator ... to do what needs to be done regarding the initial protocols and I told my team to do the same."

Thus President Donald Trump via Twitter confirms the initiation of the transition of powers to the democratic challenger Joe Biden.

Claiming that the head of the General Service Administration (GSA), Emily Murphy, has been "threatened" and "harassed", the president assures that she will still "forcefully" push her case and that she will eventually win.

"But in the interest of the country" he decided to start the transition phase.



... fight, and I believe we will prevail!

Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.

The transition will begin materially with a meeting between Biden collaborators and those responsible for fighting the pandemic and on national security issues.

the president-elect's transition team announced in a statement.



The turning point came after Michigan, one of the states on which Trump has poured great efforts to prevent it, also certified the electoral outcome.

Voting certification occurs after state election officials have conducted checks to ensure that vote counts are accurate and is typically an administrative-only process.

Michigan's decision comes after a similar outcome in Pennsylvania and Georgia



Sixteen states have so far certified their results, giving President-elect Joe Biden 54 of his 306 Electoral College votes and Trump 73 of his 232 votes.

Today it will be the turn of Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico and the District of Columbia, all won by Biden, as well as Indiana and North Carolina, where Trump had won.

At the beginning of December it will be the turn of California, Texas and New York.

All states must have certified the popular vote before the National Electoral College meets on December 14th. 



Biden won by wide margins both in the constituency, 306 against 232 delegates, and in the popular vote, where he received nearly eighty million votes, six more than Trump.
