Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has expressed concerns over the Trump campaign’s decision not to engage in presidential transition agreements with the federal government ahead of the 2024 election.

In a letter addressed to former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Raskin criticized the campaign’s refusal to commit to the transition process, which he says could have negative implications for the peaceful transfer of power.

Raskin, who serves as the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, warned in his letter that rejecting these agreements breaks with precedent.

He wrote, “Breaking the precedent set by every other presidential candidate since 2010, you have rejected these resources and refused to commit to a smooth transition.” He further accused Trump of demonstrating “a spectacular disregard for the successful continuation of the essential institutions of American democratic government.”

Raskin’s letter raises questions about the potential impact on the transition of power, should Trump win the 2024 election. Transition agreements, established by the Presidential Transition Act, are intended to ensure the incoming administration is prepared to take over key responsibilities.

Some observers have noted that Raskin’s letter might reflect growing concerns within the Democratic Party about the prospects of a Trump victory.

While Raskin raises alarms, it’s clear that the Trump-Vance team is prioritizing their campaign strategy over administrative logistics at this point.
