Aides for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are hard at work in the same building in Washington, D.C. The election is not until November. But each team is preparing for their candidate to become president in January. The news website FederalTimes.com reported that the aides moved into a building near the White House in early August. Congress has approved a budget of more than $13 million for the transition planning. President Barack Obama will leave office and the new president will take office on January 20th, 2017. That is less than three months after the election on November 8th, 2016. Recently, top transition officials from both campaigns met with Obama’s top aides. Obama’s spokesman told reporters that the administration will be helpful to both candidates as they take part in transition planning. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said everyone who took part in the meeting understands the serious responsibility that they have to ensure a smooth and effective transition.
