Party in the U.S.A.: A bumpy transition

Nov. 24, 2020
President-Elect Joe Biden can now formally begin the transition process, but that doesn’t mean Trump is giving up the fight. Trump’s legal team is forging ahead with a string of court battles, despite a growing number of both legal losses and high-profile Republicans coming out in support of the handover.
This is far from the end of the story. Biden-Harris and their transition team face the difficult task of tackling a pandemic that is raging on and preparing for a complicated vaccine rollout. They’re also working to install new cabinet picks that will shape how the incoming government handles the remaining bumps in the road.
To make sense of this moment, Elamin calls up two friends of the show: Sabrina Siddiqui of The Wall Street Journal, and Hayes Brown of MSNBC Daily.
