Former Sen. Kaufman to run Biden transition team
By Reid Wilson - 06/20/20 02:32 PM EDT

Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) has chosen his closest confidante to lead the transition team tasked with staffing and preparing for a potential Biden administration should he beat President Trump in November's election.

Biden's campaign said Saturday that Ted Kaufman, Biden's longtime Senate chief of staff, would head the early transition efforts. Kaufman replaced Biden in the Senate for two years when Biden resigned to become vice president.

"The next president will confront an ongoing global health pandemic and inherit an economy in its worst shape since the Great Depression. No one will have taken office facing such daunting obstacles since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Joe Biden is prepared to meet these urgent challenges on the day he is sworn in as president, and begin the hard work of addressing the public health crisis and rebuilding an economy that puts working families first," Kaufman said in a statement issued by the campaign.

Joe Biden Officially Begins to Ready Team for White House

Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden is looking to assemble a team that will help carry him to the White House next year should he defeat President Trump in November.

Biden has reportedly looked to former Sen. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., to lead the way. Kaufman was appointed to fill out Biden’s senate seat when he became vice president and also led Biden’s transition team in 2008 and 2009.

Kauffman acknowledged they are in “very early stages of pre-transition planning” to ensure an incoming Biden administration is ready to tackle any challenges on the road to assuming the highest office in the land.
