Presidential Transition

A presidential transition refers to the process of transferring power from one president to the next after an election. It begins when a new president is elected and includes preparations for taking office, such as forming a new administration, setting policy priorities, and briefings on government operations. This transition period typically lasts from the election in November until the inauguration in January. Effective transitions are important for ensuring continuity of government and stability, as the incoming president and their team must quickly get up to speed on pressing issues and begin implementing their agenda.
