GovExec Daily: Transitions Are Not Always Easy
Aron Solomon joins the podcast to discuss previous rocky handoffs between administrations.
There are usually around 75 days between the November election and the January inauguration during each presidential election year. In those 75 days, if a new administration is elected, the transition period is a dash to get the incoming people up-to-speed and the peaceful transfer of power done.If that doesn’t sound easy, it’s because it isn’t. Transitions can be messy and have been.
Aron Solomon is the Senior Digital Strategist for NextLevel.com and an Adjunct Professor at the Desautels School of Management at McGill University. He joined the program to talk about previous rocky transitions from one administration to another.
