The Toddler in Chief has refused to concede despite losing the electoral vote and despite the failure of several legal challenges. But President-elect Biden has nevertheless continued with getting ready to go.
We are now seeing a lot of speculation of who will be in his Cabinet and in his staff. But we have one appointee already.

Biden Names Ron Klain as White House Chief of Staff - The New York Times
Who Is Ron Klain? Joe Biden Names His Chief Of Staff : Live Updates: Presidential Transition : NPRMr. Klain, a lawyer and veteran Democratic operative who first worked for the president-elect in the late 1980s when he was a senator, has been a sharp critic of President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus.
...
In a statement, Mr. Biden called Mr. Klain an “invaluable” adviser, noting in particular the work they did together during the economic crisis in 2009 and the Ebola outbreak in 2014.
Klain, as a senior adviser to the Biden campaign, was particularly instrumental in its coronavirus messaging. He recorded an explanatory video in front of a white board that ended up being one of the campaign's most popular videos on social media platforms as it transitioned to a mostly digital operation during the early days of the pandemic.
Klain also worked as an adviser on Biden's unsuccessful 1988 and 2008 presidential campaigns, and as a top aide to Biden in the '80s and '90s on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
