Government Executive: Former Vice President Joe Biden defeated President Trump on Saturday after an extended vote count, sending the Democratic nominee to the White House on a promise to bring order to what has often been a chaotic approach to governing in the current administration.
Biden’s victory, which pollsters predicted but took several days to declare due to the slow counting of an onslaught of mailed-in ballots, will likely have significant and immediate impacts on federal agencies. The president-elect has often spoken of the value of public service and promised to listen to and respect experts across the government, something to which Trump has frequently demonstrated an aversion. Biden has criticized Trump for attacking the institutional guardrails that protect American democracy and vowed to boost the rolls at agencies he said Trump has “hollowed out.”
