What Happens During a Presidential Transition?

November 10, 2024

Max Stier is the president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service. The organization has spent years guiding administrations through transitions and working to improve the process. He joins Soledad O’Brien to explain how it works and why an effective transition is crucial for national security.
