Trump Faces Transition Delays Despite Improved Preparedness

Overview

• Trump's campaign has not signed necessary agreements with the General Services Administration for transition resources, contrasting with the Harris campaign's compliance.
• The Trump transition team includes notable figures like Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but lacks formal Cabinet discussions.
• Trump's campaign managers are running a disciplined operation, a marked improvement from the chaotic 2016 transition.
• The campaign's delay in signing memoranda allows it to avoid donor disclosure requirements but complicates transition timelines.
• The America First Policy Institute is providing Trump with potential appointees, replacing the Heritage Foundation's previous role.
