Joe Biden's presidential campaign on Saturday added former Democratic primary rival Pete Buttigieg, along with senior officials who served under President Barack Obama, to an expanded White House transition team.

Biden added four new co-chairs to the team led by his longtime ally Ted Kaufman: New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, former Obama economic adviser Jeffrey Zients, Louisiana Representative Cedric Richmond and his campaign adviser Anita Dunn.

He also named Buttigieg, a military veteran and former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, to the advisory board, together with former deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and Susan Rice, national security adviser to Obama who was on the shortlist to be Biden's running mate.

“We are preparing for this transition amid the backdrop of a global health crisis and struggling economy," Kaufman said. "This is a transition like no other, and the team being assembled will help Joe Biden meet the urgent challenges facing our country on day one."

He is adding Susan Rice to his team. A proven liar leading a guy who can’t remember how to make toast, and who fondles girls.

The only transition Sally Yates should be part of is transitioning to a jail cell for her role in the phony FISA warrants.

He has been naming his “transition team” for a month. It is an optics thing to plant the idea of inevitability.
