US President Donald Trump has accepted a formal US transition should begin for President-elect Joe Biden to take office.
Even as he vowed to keep contesting his election defeat, Mr. Trump said the federal agency overseeing the handover must “do what needs to be done”
Meanwhile, the General Services Administration (GSA) said it was acknowledging Mr Biden as the “apparent winner”.
This development which has been regarded as a major blow to Mr Trump came as Mr Biden’s victory in the state of Michigan was officially certified.
On the formal transition process, the GSA announcement means the president-elect now has access to top security briefings, office space and government officials as he prepares to take office on 20 January.
One of the new changes which occurred is that his transition website has now changed to a US government domain.
On appointments, President-elect, Biden will begin announcing the people he wants in the top jobs in his cabinet on Tuesday.
