She noted that the Biden headquarters are already happy with the process of transferring powers to the future administration. For this reason, supporters of the Democrat believe that he does not need personal communication with Trump.
“Of course, if President Trump is willing to speak with President-elect Biden, we will work to make this happen. But is this necessary for the transition to proceed successfully? No,” Bedingfield said.
Biden proclaimed himself elected President of the United States on November 7 – according to various estimates, he received from 273 to 290 electoral votes against the required 270. Current leader Donald Trump noted that his rival was in a hurry to call himself the new president.
