Over the past several weeks, a pro-Trump group has been taking shape. On Monday, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said that she would consider leading the group as “a surround-sound superstructure,” working to drum up support for the Trump administration’s policies and its legislative endeavors.

In order to make sure that no tampering happened with Michigan voting machines, a recount of paper ballots will start immediately following a judge’s order. Recounts must be completed by Dec. 13, which is the federal deadline to finalize the vote tallies. With only a current 10,000 vote difference between Trump and Clinton, any tampering may throw the outcome of the election into question.

In addition to the household names of Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, David Petraeus and Bob Corker, Trump has widened his short list for Secretary of State. John Bolton, a former Bush official, is now also in the mix, and other potential nominees may be expected.

Former presidential candidate and neurosurgeon Ben Carson has been nominated by Donald Trump to serve as the next Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Many are questioning the pick, as Carson has no federal experience or much of a history in housing or urban development. It is another sign that Trump is foregoing traditional expertise in many of his administration picks.

With the recount in Wisconsin already on its way, Republicans are filing suit to halt recounts in that state and prevent them from starting in Michigan. The main argument is that the recounts won’t have enough time to get done by Dec. 13, which is when the votes must be certified. Another argument is that since Jill Stein is the candidate requesting the recount, and she has no chance of winning, the recounts are “frivolous” and would not change the outcome.  

In what has been a tradition for decades, top aides from the Republican and Democratic candidate for president met at Harvard for a two-day conference following the election. According to attendees, this year’s was by far the most hostile. “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did!” Clinton’s communications director Jennifer Palmieri shot at the Trump team. After a tense back and forth, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway responded: “You guys are bitter. We are being very gracious. You’re bitter.”

Carrier announced that it was no longer moving 1,000 jobs out of the country, and Donald Trump is taking credit. Apparently, Trump agreed to give Carrier some tax incentives to stick around. In an op-ed, former Democratic candidate for president Bernie Sanders said: “Trump has endangered the jobs of workers who were previously safe in the United States. Why? Because he has signaled to every corporation in America that they can threaten to offshore jobs in exchange for business-friendly tax benefits and incentives.”

After filing for recounts in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, Green Party candidate Jill Stein has filed for a recount in the third state that broke the Clinton firewall. While the recounts are not really expected to change the outcome of the election, they continue to shine a light on the slim margin by which Trump won those states, as well as on the overwhelming popular vote lead that Clinton has.
