2024 US Election Remains Uncalled, Delaying Transition Activities
The 2024 US presidential election remains uncalled, with key states yet to declare a winner. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, both potential candidates, await clarity to begin their campaigns. Meanwhile, transition activities face delays due to the undetermined outcome.
As of Wednesday 12:00 PM, neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump had officially declared their candidacies for the 2024 election. Six crucial states— Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—remain uncalled, prolonging the wait for a projected winner. The Associated Press has called North Carolina for Trump, but the race is far from over.
The delay in calling the election impacts transition activities. The General Services Administration (GSA) cannot provide access to federal funds and agency staff for briefings until at least November 10, when it can clearly ascertain a winner. This pause in transition activities could hinder the incoming administration's preparation.
Unlike Trump, Harris' team has fully participated in the official transition process managed by the GSA. However, both candidates will be eligible for transition funds and agency access once the winner is clear.
Control of the House and Senate is also uncertain, with many competitive races yet to be called. This could impact federal employees, as Trump has expressed interest in resurrecting Schedule F, a policy to remove civil service job protections for tens of thousands of federal employees.
The uncalled 2024 US presidential election delays transition activities and leaves the political landscape in limbo. With Kamala Harris and Donald Trump potentially leading their parties, the road to the White House remains uncertain. The outcome of key states and congressional races will significantly influence the federal government's future.
