Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has cast doubt on whether he will commit to a peaceful transfer of power should Democrat Joe Biden win the election, but the secretive process to prepare a would-be Biden administration has been underway for months with help from top Trump officials.

The legally mandated transition happens every four years and ensures that, should a transfer of power be needed, the incoming president is able to use the less than three months to stand up a government and hit the ground running on Inauguration Day. But experts on transitions tell CNN that a possible transition from Trump to Biden -- because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the differences between the two candidates and the economic downturn gripping the nation -- could be among the most consequential in modern history.

And Trump has not made the consequences of that possible transfer any less tense, regularly dodging questions about a peaceful transition of power to Biden and baselessly questioning whether the election will be fairly decided. But his administration, led by chief of staff Mark Meadows and deputy chief of staff for policy coordination Chris Liddell, has been working with Biden's team to prepare for the possible handover.

1. He will go, he has no choice. His proud boys and boogaloo boys will get squashed like bugs

when they try anything. trump has outlived his usefulness. The sleazy corporate bosses have gotten what they wanted out of him and now his time is up. They put up with him and allowed him to run the country into the ground to get what they want. He has nothing left.They have to turn their sights to working with the next administration. trump's play soldiers will not be allowed to run amok when he loses. He will stomp and whine, maybe try to go to court where he will be promptly be dismissed. Then slink off to Mar a Lago.
