Doubt about a peaceful transfer of power after the presidential election has surged over the past year, yet the public overwhelmingly wants candidates to support the winner, regardless of party.

This growing uncertainty is a critical call to action for political leaders. As the campaigns for former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris prepare for potential transitions, they must ensure a smooth, peaceful handover—regardless of the election's outcome. Read our latest blog to explore this pressing issue and its implications for our democracy. https://bit.ly/3T81kCt #Transition2024
