So there's a bunch of news stories about Harris calling Trump to congratulate, concede and discuss the transition of power.

But isn't that supposed to be President Joe Biden's job?

If Biden really isn't really the President any longer, then they should just swear in Trump ASAP so that we can have an actual acting President in the White House, rather than basically coasting on fumes for the next 75 days.

I imagine that, as the Vice President, Harris is part of the transition team, and thus may have reason to discuss items related to the transition of power in a phone call with the President-elect.

If Biden can no longer do his job, the next in line would be Harris, not the president elect.

Why would it be Biden’s job?

People voted for Biden/Harris in 2020, so they voted for Harris as a VP.

Because he's supposed to be the President of the United States. The actual incumbent.
Biden's job right now is to eat ice cream and take a vacation or two or three in the two months he has left. Whoever is actually running the country will have to deal with China perhaps mobilizing against Taiwan and Iran mobilizing against Israel and Russia mobilizing against Poland and all of that. We are in an exceptionally dangerous moment for the next two months with the potential for major wars before Trump becomes president.

Traditionally, the losing candidate congratulates the winner and makes a concession speech.

This is different from the specifics of the inaugural ceremony.
I was taken aback by the VP going over the transition of power, rather than the actual incumbent President.

He should have resigned from office on July 21st.

Yeah, and people say Trump's a threat to our democracy, overlooking the actual threats.

Because once Trump has been sworn in, his magic powers will prevent new wars from breaking out for the time of his presidency.

Nope. But the opportunity for war right now is huge. It's always present. It's huge in the next two months. Trump managed not to start any wars in his term.

She was the candidate. She conceded - something Biden’s opponent has yet to do.

Do you remember how lovely and gracious Donald and Melania were during the last transition? I doubt that they actually would like their re-entry to the WH to be attended by the Bidens.

I remember when Reagan won - Nancy asked the Carters to get out early so she could get a jump on redecorating. They declined, but greeted their successors cordially on transition day.
