US election: Biden team calls for federal agency to recognise poll win

Wilmington: An official in US President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team said on Monday said the General Services Administration (GSA) must recognize Biden’s election victory over incumbent Donald Trump so that a transition of power can begin.

The federal agency normally recognizes a presidential candidate when it becomes clear who has won an election, an official told reporters on a call, adding that the transition team may take legal action.
