Trump admits that Biden won the election and begins the transition process
20 days after the elections in the United States, Donald Trump admits that Joe Biden will be the next president. He has already ordered the activation of the last remaining formal procedure for the next declaration of the Democratic candidate Biden as the new president of the United States, since the Trump Administration, through the so-called General Services Administration -the GSA- has already taken the step to contact Democratic campaign attorneys to initiate presidential transition procedures.
It is the closest thing to the admission of defeat in the elections that the Trump team has granted so far, which, beyond continuing to battle in the courts, something that makes it clear, already has those responsible for the transition working on this, by your indication.
Trump himself admitted through his Twitter account that "I have recommended that what is necessary be done to initiate the protocols, and I have told my team to do the same."

To do this, the GSA has sent a letter to the lawyers of the Biden team, 21 days after an election whose winner took several days to be known but which, in the end, is clearly deciding in favor of the Democratic Party, with more six million votes ahead of him so far. This same Tuesday, Biden was declared the official winner in the state of Michigan. Certification in Pennsylvania is a matter of days or hours.
This means that the two teams, outgoing and incoming, will coordinate from now on to develop an orderly transition, something that Biden demanded and that until now they have refused in the White House. The head of the GSA, Emily Murphy, put by Trump himself, had so far refused to advance in this process, which prevented Biden from working with the different federal agencies.
Victory in Michigan
The State Campaign Directorate of the state of Michigan has certified this Monday the victory of Joe Biden in the presidential elections of last November 3, with which the Democratic candidate increases by 16 the number of votes in the Electoral College that elects the future president versus his rival, the outgoing president, Donald Trump.
The body has approved by three votes in favor and one abstention to certify the results of the 83 counties that make up the state and that have shown that Biden is the winner in popular vote by more than 150,000 votes and therefore the depositary of the 16 votes of the Electoral College. Now Trump had presented several appeals to try to stop the certification and even invited several Michigan state congressmen to the White House last week, unprecedented events.
Michigan and Wisconsin are the two great states of the so-called ‘Rust Belt’ that have turned color in these elections, being key in the victory of Joe Biden.
