WASHINGTON (AP) — In a drab office suite just blocks from the White House, seasoned political operatives are drawing up detailed plans for a government in waiting. Another identical suite in the same government building is dark and idle.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are running markedly different transition efforts to be ready for the potential responsibility of taking over the federal government. It's a below-the-radar effort for now that will snap into sharp focus as soon as a winner is declared.
But already, their approaches speak to their divergent thinking about governing.
