FIRST IN TRANSITION PLAYBOOK: The government watchdog group Accountable.US, which is funded by progressive donors and foundations, is starting a Senate War Room to pressure lawmakers to quickly approve Biden’s nominees to ensure that he has a well-staffed administration. The campaign will include opposition research, digital messaging and rapid response efforts, a spokesperson for the group said.

“We agree with Mitch McConnell and will hold him to his word that a new president should have their Cabinet nominees confirmed in a timely fashion,” said KYLE HERRIG, president of Accountable.US, in a statement. “Donald Trump may no longer be president come January 20, but the public health and economic crisis he leaves behind will require the complete attention of our new president and a fully staffed cabinet and government.”
