Read our privacy policy The Trump administration’s national security adviser told a security forum in Dubai on Monday there would be a “very professional transition” to the Biden administration, the AP reports, the closest anyone in the White House has come to admitting defeat so far. “If the Biden-Harris ticket is determined to be the winner — obviously things look that way now — we’ll have a very professional transition from the National Security Council. “They’re going to have very professional folks coming in to take these positions.” Mr O’Brien also referred to one of the administration’s signature diplomatic achievements, the normalization of relations between the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Israel, as “a great legacy for the president to have as he leaves office.” It’s a rare, frank discussion of the president’s position following his electoral defeat, which he and his inner circle refuse to concede. The president’s former chief of staff and Homeland Security chief John Kelly said on Friday the refusal to concede “hurts our national security,” a sentiment echoed by former Obama administration national security adviser and UN ambassador Susan Rice, who wrote in the New York Times on Saturday that the obstinance will “cost us dearly in terms of American lives."
