Joe Biden Reveals Next Plans as GSA Blocks Key Access
The Joe Biden team is unhappy over the continual denial of access to some critical resource by the General Services Administration (GSA), following the results of the American Presidential election where Biden had overwhelming majority of popular and Electoral College votes.
The Joe Biden’s transition team is currently considering legal action over the federal agency’s delay in recognizing the Democrat’s victory over President Donald Trump, a Biden official has said.
The General Services Administration (GSA) generally recognizes a presidential candidate when it becomes clear who has won an election so that a transition of power can begin.
This is however yet to happened despite U.S. television and news networks declaring Biden the winner on Saturday after he secured enough electoral votes to secure the presidency.
The delay is costing the Biden team access to millions of dollars in federal funding and the ability to meet with officials at intelligence agencies and other departments.
The transition team needs to be recognized to access funds for salaries, consultants, and travel, as well as access to classified information, the official said.

In addition, the team has no access to the State Department, which usually facilitates calls between foreign leaders and the president-elect, the official said.
The law does not clearly spell out when the GSA must act, but Biden transition officials say their victory is clear and a delay is not justified, even as Trump refuses to concede defeat.

Trump has repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that there was widespread voter fraud and has filed a raft of lawsuits to challenge the results.
How Joe Biden Won the Presidency
Election officials across the country say there has been no evidence of significant fraud, and legal experts say Trump’s efforts are unlikely to succeed.
GSA Administrator, Emily Murphy, appointed by Trump in 2017, has not yet determined that “a winner is clear,” a spokeswoman said.
