Nik Blosser joins the Biden transition team as ballots are still being counted
Nik Blosser, chief of staff to Oregon Governor Kate Brown, will be leaving the Governor to join the Biden/Harris transition team, as ballots are still being counted, and recounts are underway.
Blosser, recently parried with the Trump Administration, holding up vital and
timely firefighting aid in exchange for "rumor control", regarding Antifa involvement in Oregon fires.
In an email chain discovered via public records requests, Blosser is asked by the Trump administration to correct rumors, and address an MSNBC article claiming the Trump administration was not responding to Governor Kate Brown's request for federal firefighting aid. Trump's team asks for honesty during Brown's next press conference. Blosser quickly quips back, "Thanks, we're also trying to dispel rumors with the FBI, and Local Law Enforcement assistance, that Antifa set the fires".
Now Blosser is being rewarded for his political savvy, and quick thinking, hired on prematurely as part of the Biden/Harris "transition team". In a press release issued by the Governor's office, Brown praises Blosser stating, "Nik has been on the ground and focused on the pandemic response from the start of this crisis, giving him a unique understanding of the needs of Americans suffering from COVID-19 and the needs of the communities they live in,†said Governor Brown. “I am heartened that President-Elect Biden, Vice President-Elect Harris and their transition team have selected Nik for this important role. He has my full support, and I am confident he will help President-Elect Biden and his team support states in their approach to this crisis and the long recovery that will follow.â€
Meanwhile, Georgia has just announced a hand recount of ballots, along with several other key battleground states, under suspicion of voter fraud. President Trump has openly stated they intend to fight the fraud, and has not conceded the race for President. As a reminder Trump has stated that, "The media doesn't decide elections."
