Joe Biden is the projected president-elect of the United States, but President Trump still refuses to concede.
What does a successful transfer of executive power entail? What are the rules? Why is a peaceful transition important to democracy?
How could ongoing delays affect national security and the incoming administration's pandemic response? What will happen if Trump continues to block Biden's transition?
Have there been other difficult transitions in American presidential history? How were they resolved?

- Martha Kumar, director of the White House Transition Project, professor emeritus in the Department of Political Science at Townsend University and author of "Before the Oath: How George W. Bush and Barack Obama Managed a Transfer of Power"
