The Trump Presidential Transition Team was a temporary organization established following Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Its primary mandate was to prepare for the orderly transfer of power from the outgoing Obama administration to the incoming Trump administration. The team was responsible for overseeing the transition of power, including personnel and policy planning. Key functions included identifying, vetting, and recommending candidates for cabinet secretaries, agency heads, and other senior political appointments; developing policy priorities and agendas for the new administration; and ensuring the operational readiness of federal agencies for the new leadership. The team was initially led by Chris Christie, but Mike Pence took over as chairman shortly after the election, with significant involvement from Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon. The transition was notably characterized by internal conflicts, purges of personnel, and a slower-than-usual rollout of key appointments compared to previous transitions.
