In show of confidence, Biden team launches transition website

The Biden team launches a transition website to prepare for its entrance into the White House, but stops short of declaring victory, as the challenger looks likely to prevail in the presidential race.

Reusing a slogan from the campaign season, the website is located at buildbackbetter.com.

The site currently features only a photo of Biden, a headline reading “Biden-Harris transition,” and a statement:

“The American people will determine who will serve as the next President of the United States. Votes are still being counted in several states around the country. The crises facing the country are severe — from a pandemic to an economic recession, climate change to racial injustice — and the transition team will continue preparing at full speed so that the Biden-Harris Administration can hit the ground running on Day One.”

There is also a Spanish-language version of the site. It’s not clear exactly when it became active.
