Top House Democrats want answers about the status of the presidential transition.
On Thursday, House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Appropriations Committee Chair Nita M. Lowey (D-NY), along with two other senior Democrats, Gerald Connolly (D-VA) and Mike Quigley (D-IL), demanded that General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator Emily Murphy brief them by Monday on the delay in declaring President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election.
The GSA must officially ascertain Biden as the next president in order for the transition to begin in earnest, a step that would release funds to the incoming president and allow his team access to federal agencies and briefings to prepare for the transfer of power.
In the past, most GSA administrators have made their judgments based on media projections, but Murphy has not done so yet, despite Biden being declared the winner by all major US media outlets and Trumps legal challenges largely failing in court.

I honestly think this sore loser gets a sense of power by holding things UP.
