What he’s saying: “President-elect Biden and the team around him have a wealth of executive branch experience that should allow them to hit the ground running,” Donohue said in a statement.
“[W]hile the Trump administration can continue litigating to confirm election outcomes, for the sake of Americans’ safety and well-being, it should not delay the transition a moment longer.”
Why it matters: Even business leaders who held back at first are now saying Trump needs to move on.
