Biden Crowdfunding His Own Transition: Now, Do the Federal Government
In a rather ironic move, Joe Biden — whom preliminary election results suggest is president-elect and who supports expanding the size and scope of the federal government — has started crowdfunding his presidential transition. The General Services Administration (GSA) has held up transition-related funds, claiming it is not yet clear Biden won the election. Rather than waiting for the GSA to change course, Biden has asked Americans to fund his transition, and he appears to be succeeding.
Here's the deal: Because President Trump refuses to concede and is delaying the transition, we have to fund it ourselves and need your help. If you're able, chip in to help fund the Biden-Harris transition.

Biden’s transition team has reportedly raised more than $8 million so far, hitting the initial goal of $7 million to $10 million, Politico reported.
Ironically, Biden’s success in fundraising for the transition may demonstrate that key government functions need not rely on tax dollars. If Joe Biden can fundraise for his transition team, perhaps the federal government should rely on crowdfunding, rather than compulsory taxation, for more of its functions.
