2021 law mandates simultaneous presidential transitions, raising national security concerns.
A new U.S. law, the Presidential Transition Improvement Act, requires the presidential transition process to start five days after the election, even if candidates haven't conceded. This could lead to simultaneous transitions for Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, raising concerns about national security gaps. The law aims to prevent delays seen in the 2020 election transition, providing federal support until major legal challenges are resolved or Electoral College voting occurs.
