Twitter Will Transfer Official @POTUS Account to Joe Biden in January

Allum Bokhari 21 Nov 2020

Twitter will transfer control of @POTUS, the official account of the President of the United States, to Joe Biden on January 20, regardless of whether President Donald Trump concedes the election.

The transfer will reportedly also extend to other official government Twitter accounts, including @whitehouse, @VP, and @FLOTUS.

Staffers from Twitter will also meet with Joe Biden’s transition team in the coming weeks.

Via The Hill:

    President-elect Joe Biden will receive the @POTUS Twitter handle as soon as he is inaugurated to the White House in January regardless of whether President Trump concedes before then, Twitter announced Friday.

    A Twitter spokesperson confirmed to The Hill that the tech giant is “actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20th, 2021,” which also includes @whitehouse, @VP, @FLOTUS, and a number of other official accounts. The process is being done in consultation with the National Archives and Records Administration.

    Twitter also confirmed that staffers will meet with representatives from the Biden-Harris transition team in the coming months to review how the new administration plans to use its government-related accounts.

Isn't that the job of the White House itself?

Either way, this doesn't affect the prime @realdonaldtrump account Trump uses for his screeds.

Well, yeah.  By January the winner of the Electoral College will be known, and Twatter is just echoing the general media myth that Biteme has already won.

I haven't a clue about that.  Not in my wheelhouse.

That is correct.  He has his own account, and it will be banned on 1/20/21.
