One month out from november 3 americans across the country have already started voting in the most important president ial election in a generation. President elect joe biden for reelected President Donald Trump will face a double digit unemployment situation and a global pandemic, a reckoning on racial inequality and a divided nation.

That is why preparation and planning today is critical for effectiveness on january 20. Regardless of your wins a smooth transition this year is not enough in this year we need the best transition ever in american history. Should Vice President biden win the challenges are truly daunting. In normal times a new president fac
