President-elect Joe Biden and his team will begin to delve into Donald Trump’s coronavirus vaccine planning and assess the condition of federal agencies after the president relented and allowed the transition work to begin.
After weeks of inaction, the chief of the General Services administration acknowledged Monday that Biden was the “apparent winner” of the Nov. 3 election.
