WASHINGTON (AP) — Representatives for former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris ' transition teams met for the first time at the White House, the Biden administration announced Wednesday, as the outgoing administration plans to smooth the handoff to whomever wins in November.

Chief of Staff Jeffrey Zients hosted a meeting Tuesday of the White House Transition Coordinating Committee — the government’s senior-most transition planning group — and for the first time this year included Harris and Trump aides.

The meeting and invitation to both parties’ representatives are required under the Presidential Transition Act, which mandates that the designated candidate representatives serve in an advisory capacity.

1. Who is on Trump's team?

2. It is outrageous

that he is even allowed to run for the Presidency again. Shame on the GOP for nominating an unfit, insurrectionist who promised to be a "Dictator on Day One" & posted about "terminating the Constitution."

3. Yes

The idea of him even having a "transition team" makes me squeamish.

7. What does it say about this country as a whole

in terms of its institutions and morality that trumpism is tolerated in the American body politic at all and not rejected and expelled like the foul, traitorous bile that it is? And I'm not talking about individual persons, I mean the "responsible" people who have all the money and should know better.

8. He's a means to an ends: power. It's all they want. It could be anyone... this time it's Trump.

4. tRump doesn't deserve that courtesy, not after the way he treated Biden during the transition.

9. It's not a "courtesy" -- it's a law. And while Trump doesn't respect the law, Joe Biden does.

6. It is so sickening that Pres Biden has to deal with the vile Trump and

his transition team.
