Joe Biden building up his ‘transition team’

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is expanding his transition team with senior campaign aides, vice presidential contenders and a former primary rival, two months before he faces President Donald Trump in the general election.
Biden added four co-chairs to help former Delaware Senator Ted Kaufman oversee the effort.
They include Anita Dunn,
a senior adviser to the campaign; Representative Cedric Richmond, a national co-chair of the campaign; New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, who was vetted as a
potential running mate; and Jeffrey Zients, a top economic adviser to President Barack Obama.
“We are preparing for this transition amid the backdrop of a global health crisis and struggling economy,” Kaufman said in a statement.
“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.”
The transition team is responsible for laying the groundwork for a potential Biden administration, including identifying people for cabinet roles and planning for the implementation of key policy goals.
