President-elect Joe Biden will receive the @POTUS Twitter handle as soon as he is inaugurated to the White House in January regardless of whether President Trump concedes before then, Twitter announced Friday.

A Twitter spokesperson confirmed to The Hill that the tech giant is “actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20th, 2021,” which also includes @whitehouse, @VP, @FLOTUS, and a number of other official accounts. The process is being done in consultation with the National Archives and Records Administration.

Twitter also confirmed that staffers will meet with representatives from the Biden-Harris transition team in the coming months to review how the new administration plans to use its government-related accounts.

Twitter will have to take all it it back and give it back to our rightful president.

Biden couldn’t get enough people to come to his rallies to field a softball team, but he received 80,000,000 votes?

What if he’s in Gitmo?

Lol twitter can suck on it. It might work in a parallel dimension but in this one we have Donald J Trump for another 4 years.

[Skywise]

Well... DUH. It doesn’t have anything to do with Trump conceding.

IF the electoral college elects Biden then that’s the day the power transfers.

Unless Trump wins - then you’re not switching the title doofuses.

If Trump were gone from twitter, I would have no reason to ever go there. I bet they will lose a lot of traffic.

On Jan 20th, the President will be who the Constitution says it is.
Hopefully, Donald Trump.

Power doesn’t transfer until January 20th 2021 or 2025.
