“President-elect Joe Biden on Monday shared a tweet showing off a new website for his transition effort. And his supporters are excited by just three letters in the URL: .gov. https://t.co/6aIgLN2bMk— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 24, 2020 The new site, BuildBackBetter.gov, is one of the first visible signs that the formal transition is now underway, hours after the General Services Administration finally signed off on giving Biden’s team access to the resources it needs to begin the process. The website itself is fairly standard, with information about the incoming administration, its priorities, the transition effort and more. It also has a place to submit resumes. But given that GSA administrator Emily Murphy delayed the transition for weeks as President Donald Trump waged a legal war against the election results, Biden supporters celebrated the new ”.gov” domain: It’s a .gov website. We’re back, America. https://t.co/kelL0Yha37— Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) November 24, 2020 my favorite tweet https://t.co/G5pOSvyyNz— Baratunde (@baratunde) November 24, 2020 For those following along, the .com versus .gov domain was actually significant as far as the official start of the peaceful transition of power. https://t.co/WQg0GzC4tF— Jon Ostrower (@jonostrower) November 24, 2020 Within hours.
