"AUGUST 14, 2020
Biden Wins, Then What?"
"Here, free of charge, Joe, is an action plan that will get you from Election Night through your first two weeks in office.
"Follow this plan and by your 100th day in the White House observers will be comparing you to at least one President Roosevelt, if not both.
"On Election Night (or whatever date you are declared the winner): Close down your Twitter account..."
"During the transition: Direct your press secretary to announce that on January 20th there will be no ritzy Inaugural balls...."
"On January 20th, the big day arrives.
"Noon, Eastern Standard Time: With the chief justice of the Supreme Court presiding, take the oath of office in the East Room of the White House in the presence of Vice President Kamala Harris and your immediate family.
"No inaugural address, no parade, no festivities whatsoever.
"Make like you’re George Washington: he wasn’t into making a fuss.
"When the ceremony ends, have lunch and get down to work."
