President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris expressed their gratitude to the thousands of political appointees serving their administration during a Zoom call on Saturday. Biden commended his team, stating, 'No presidency gets to choose the moment they enter history, but they do get to choose the team. And I’m damn proud of the team we chose.' He urged the departing appointees to reflect on their service with pride.
Approximately 4,000 political appointees from various federal government sectors will be leaving their positions as President-elect Donald Trump assumes office. Biden encouraged the appointees to remain involved and committed to the causes they have been working on, emphasizing the importance of staying engaged in the ongoing challenges facing the nation.
