As after last night’s Democrat/media shenanigans of reserving thousands of tickets so that actual even goers couldn’t go, Joe Biden seems pretty convinced he already has the election wrapped up. With the media clearly in his pocket, just like Obama and Hillary Clinton had, Biden (or his handlers) are so confident that he’s going to win on November 3rd, that’s he already formed a “transition team.” It’s not even July yet and Biden doesn’t even have a running mate. Yet, Biden is forming a transition team. That should set up red flags everywhere.

Joe Biden has assembled a planning team to assist the former vice president in having a smooth transition to the White House next year should he defeat President Trump in November.
Biden tapped former Sen. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., to lead the early transition team efforts. Kaufman was appointed to fill out Biden’s senate seat when he became vice president and also led Biden’s transition team in 2008 and 2009.
Kauffman said they are in “very early stages of pre-transition planning” to ensure a Biden Administration is prepared to immediately tackle the many challenges facing America right now.
“The next president will confront an ongoing global health pandemic and inherit an economy in its worst shape since the Great Depression,” Kaufman said in a statement. “No one will have taken office facing such daunting obstacles since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Joe Biden is prepared to meet these urgent challenges on the day he is sworn in as president, and begin the hard work of addressing the public health crisis and rebuilding an economy that puts working families first.”Kauffman announced that a half dozen staff, including Obama Administration and Capitol Hill veterans, will join the early transition effort.
Yohannes Abraham, a longtime senior White House staffer in the Obama administration and former COO of the Obama Foundation, will manage day-to-day operations. Avril Haines, former principal deputy national security advisor and deputy director of the CIA, will manage the transition’s national security and foreign policy efforts.
