Biden forges ahead with the transition while Trump paralyzes Washington
WASHINGTON — By most measures, President-elect Joe Biden had a busy and productive second week of his presidential transition.
On Monday, Biden convened a meeting of labor leaders and the CEOs of several major companies to discuss economic recovery priorities. The next day, he held a briefing with national security experts on threats facing the United States.
On Wednesday, Biden hosted a virtual roundtable with first responders to discuss the ongoing coronavirus crisis. The day after that, he held a meeting with Republican and Democratic governors to discuss state and federal coordination in a Biden administration.
On Friday afternoon, Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris met in person in Wilmington, Delaware, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. There, the nation's four most powerful Democrats discussed legislative priorities for the coming year.
There were also significant announcements this week about who will staff the Biden White House, with longtime loyalists Mike Donilon and Steve Ricchetti tapped to serve as the incoming president's top advisors.
