John,
On Saturday, November 7, all major news outlets called the presidential election for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Since then, additional states including Arizona and Georgia have been called for Biden-Harris, further-confirming the will of the people.
Joe Biden has captured the highest percentage of the popular vote of any presidential challenger since Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover in 1932.[1] He has equaled Trump’s 2016 “landslide” of 306 electoral votes. And yet, Trump and his minions continue to block the Biden-Harris transition team from accessing vital information and resources, which they are legally entitled to as part of the Presidential Transition Act of 1963.
Join Americans for Tax Fairness Action Fund in demanding that Trump appointee, Emily Murphy―General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator―immediately recognize President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris. Donate today to fight back against this blatant obstruction, which is a threat to our lives and our democracy.
Yesterday, President-elect Biden said at a news conference that the Trump administration’s failure to coordinate on the transition means that “more people may die” from COVID-19.[2]
Last weekend, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has served through six administrations, voiced his concern that the Trump administration continues to block the Biden-Harris team’s access to critical information, including details about the COVID-19 vaccine and its distribution to over 300 million Americans.[3]
Trump’s own former National Security Advisor John Bolton indicated that “every day that [Trump] delays... ultimately is to the country's disadvantage,” discussing how this obstruction poses a national security risk.[4]
Emily Murphy has the authority to determine when the presidential election appears to have a winner so that the winner’s team gets the resources needed to run the transition, get national security briefings, and coordinate a national COVID-19 response plan with public health officials across the government so that the American people are protected on day-one of the Biden-Harris administration.
Donate today to fight back against the Trump administration’s blatant obstruction and disregard for the health and safety of the American people.
