WASHINGTON - The federal government recognized President-elect Joe Biden as the “apparent winner” of the Nov. 3 election, formally starting the transition of power after President Donald Trump spent weeks testing the boundaries of American democracy. Trump relented after suffering yet more legal and procedural defeats in his seemingly futile effort to overturn the election with baseless claims of fraud.
Trump still refused to concede and vowed to continue to fight in court after General Services Administrator Emily Murphy gave the green light Monday for Biden to coordinate with federal agencies ahead of his Jan. 20 inauguration. But Trump did tweet that he was directing his team to cooperate on the transition.
The fast-moving series of events seemed to let much of the air out of Trump’s frantic efforts to undermine the will of the people in what has amounted to a weekslong stress test for the nation’s confidence in the political system and the fairness of U.S. elections. Those efforts haven’t ended and are likely to persist well beyond his lame-duck presidency.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said the GSA action “is probably the closest thing to a concession that President Trump could issue.″ Noting that the nation “faces multiple crises that demand an orderly transition,″ Schumer urged Democrats and Republicans to “unite together for a smooth and peaceful transition that will benefit America.″

good God. The hate just oozes out of that story in every direction.
I was going to post this but happy you beat me to it.
AP - America’s Pravda.
BiteMe’s team got an office.
That’s it.
I really pray President Trump finds a way to remain president and that the plans of the cabal fail. It would be wonderful to see all the media collectively have their minds explode. It would make November 2016 pale in comparison.
I knew immediately 3 “writers” would not be enough for this garbage.
ADD FIVE MORE AP HACKS (AT BOTTOM OF ARTICLE):
Associated Press writers Maryclaire Dale in Philadelphia, Jonathan Lemire in New York, Mark Scolforo in Harrisburg, Pa., Christina A. Cassidy in Atlanta and John Flesher in Traverse City, Mich., contributed to this report.
Ah, for all the tough talk, even from me, all we will do is just complain the next four years.
We are no longer in republic or representative democracy so they will be looking for any chance to arrest us.
I would LOVE for Trump to lead demonstrations and form a party and stay active in all this...
I would get involved with anything he does.
But an obviously stolen election and coup breaks one’s back and they know that.
We waited SO LONG that there is NO ONE on our side or who owns any very powerful or important company that is on our sider...in tech, media...
We waited and waited and waited.
that was smart...
Weekly Trump rallies until the 2024 elections
China: Now aw yu seclets berong to us!
Yes, I know, lacist!
As someone else said....The ape pee
... Entire staff knows the procedure. Takes piece of paper, writes name, dollar amount and places bid in the hat ...
AP Editor: "The winners are ZEKE MILLER, DAVID EGGERT and COLLEEN LONG all @ $325.00. Boy you guys are cheap. How am I ever to retire."
Out of options? hahahaha

I wonder why so many fake news media outlets are trying so very hard to convince us that it is all over. No hope. That we must concede. Surrender. Bow down to the inevitable.
They are shouting this so loud and so often that it makes me think they have severe doubts about the outcome. They should.
LOL. I guess they didn’t pay enough to get a by-line. By the way, I don’t click on AP articles, so I had no idea.
Hugh halfwit Hugh it was braying about the transition team and all the rat players that will be back in charge. He’s such an idiot. Had to turn the radio off on my drive in to work this morning.
So they steal an election and we are supposed to just give up?
Well, you stole it so I guess we just have to give up and live by the false dictators rule./S They went after the mafia after decades of stealing. It’s time to take down the rats.
Without the Presidency there is no reason he won’t be kicked off Twitter, etc.
The head of GSA was THREATENED by the Democrats!!!!! Trump is attempting to protect her....we are dealing with THUGS.....read paragraph #2 of her letter which is also available on the GSA website......https://thenationalpulse.com/breaking/dems-threatened-gsa-admin/
I hope this is true. It’s about time
George Soros ARRESTED for election interference, in federal custody
