In the United States,the presidential transition refers to the process by which a president-elect prepares to take over administration of the government,generally with cooperation from the outgoing administration. The transition normally takes place during the roughly 10-week period between the election in the first week of November and the inauguration on January 20. Joe Biden's transition was shortened somewhat because the outgoing Trump administration did not recognize Biden as the "apparent winner" until November 23.
Following his election victory in 2020,U.S. president Joe Biden had 4,000 political appointments to make to the federal government. Of those 4,000 political appointments,more than 1250 require Senate confirmation. Upon taking office,Biden quickly placed more than 1,000 high-level officials into roles that did not require confirmation. As of April 1,2022,according to tracking by The Washington Post and Partnership for Public Service,325 nominees have been confirmed by the United States Senate,9 have been announced,175 are being considered by the Senate,and 117 tracked positions have no nominee.
There are about 4,000 positions in the Executive Office of the President of the United States. The core White House staff positions and most Executive Office positions are generally not required to be confirmed by the Senate. The positions that require Senate confirmation include:the director of the Office of Management and Budget,the chair and members of the Council of Economic Advisers,and the United States trade representative.
President Biden will make many appointments and nominations to serve in various roles in the Department of Defense. These include the Army,Navy,Marines,and Air Force. Almost all of these nominations will need to be confirmed by the United States Senate before they can begin service. As was the case with Lloyd Austin,a waiver is required if the nominated person has not been out of service for at least seven years.
