It's never a good time for an outgoing administration to play politics with the timely handover of power.
Now is a particularly terrible one.

CNN PROJECTION: President-elect Joe Biden wins Georgia, flipping the traditionally red state, and Donald Trump wins North Carolina.
This brings the final electoral vote tally to 306 for Biden and 232 for Trump cnn.it/3nhMIxK#CNNElection
What a wild week.
On Sunday, we thought Biden had won... but then on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, we thought Biden had won... but then today **boom** we find out Biden won.
What a rollercoaster.
No, Secretary Pompeo. There won't be a transition to a second Trump term. The race has been called. Joe Biden will be our next president. How can you lecture other governments to respect democracy and the will of their people when you don’t have the decency to do so yourself?
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo refused to acknowledge that Joe Biden won the election, claiming in a briefing Tuesday that "there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration."

The counting of ballots is nearly done in Arizona. A huge THANK YOU to election officials, workers and volunteers for their professionalism and hard work.
Congratulations, President-Elect Biden for a hard won victory. Arizona has chosen well.
The outgoing Administration's failure to accept @JoeBiden's election is one last, dangerous attempt to undermine our democracy.
It will fail.
The President-elect & Vice President-elect are already working to tackle the urgent challenges we face, and will not be distracted.
