Biden pushes forward on transition despite Trump's blocking President-elect Joe Biden is quietly pushing forward with the business of preparing to become America’s next commander in chiefPHILADELPHIA -- President-elect Joe Biden quietly pushed forward with the business of preparing to become America's next commander in chief on Wednesday, ignoring President Donald Trump's unprecedented push to block his Democratic rival's transition. Biden continues to shrug off Trump's refusal to accept the election outcome, even as officials in both parties warn that the Republican president’s actions could be dangerous. But just a little over two months before Biden will be inaugurated, Trump and his allies seemed determined to make his transition as difficult as possible. The Republican president's allies on Capitol Hill, led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have encouraged the president's accusations. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, among six world leaders overall, congratulated Biden on his election.
