Fox News says that the GSA just informed Biden that they recognize he is the winner. Regardless of Trump's continued failing lawsuits. the GSA will start giving money to Biden and also office space. ....and Trump gave GSA official permission to do so. Glad this sad period in our history is finally coming to an end.
yep, this was an embarrassment to the Republican Party, and they were starting to turn on him, about time
Gotta love the GSA. Spend a billion here and a billion there and all of a sudden you start gettinng invited to all these posh events.
Finita la commedia! The case is heard! Game over! The jig is up! The carrots are cooked! Good night and good luck!
The GSA does not have the authority to declare anyone the winner. Unless there is another GSA besides the General Services Administration.
the General Services Admin has certified that Biden won. and they will release funds and office space to him. and Biden will get his national security briefings.
The GSA has ascertained that Biden won. That does not mean they certified anything. All it means is that they will start providing them with GSA services.
GSA has no authority to do so. They are to release funds, after the election, when there is a presumed president elect. She explained herself in the memo.
Yeah, the GSA didn’t certify but they did finally recognize Biden as President-elect. That .027 batting average on law suits had to have something to do with it.
Wrong! The GSA certified and declared Biden the President Elect, and Kamala the Vice-President elect. Therefore, they declared them the winners as defined by the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 "The terms ‘President-elect’ and ‘Vice-President elect’ as used in this Act shall mean such persons as are the apparent successful candidates for the office of President and Vice President, respectively, as ascertained by the Administrator following the general elections held to determine the electors of President and Vice President in accordance with title 3, United States Code, sections 1 and 2."
Wrong. That is not what they said. They have no authority to certify. They declared them the "apparent successful candidates". Apparent successful candidates is not the same as being certified.
All the GSA did was decide that Biden/Harris most likely won the election and as such they are entitled to GSA services which means they will be given office space, furniture and other items and services required to transition into the office of president and vice president. It is the right thing to do. However, it does not even mean that this is a non-reversible decision. In the unlikely event that it is determined that Biden/Harris are not the winners, those services would be terminated. The GSA in no way has the authority to certify the election.
As Trump told them to because the person in charge of that department was getting death threats and the employees were being harassed
For once I agree with you here. Strictly speaking, you're right. Official confirmation will be by the EC on December 14 I guess.
Given all the tension in this election, the GSA was wise to wait until the numbers seemed irreversible. That just happened today with the Michigan confirmation.
They don't declare them "apparent successful candidates". They declare them President Elect and Vice-President elect. Certification that is necessary for the Biden team to receive security clearance, receive transition funds, start receiving a salary, etc.
