Now as all should know by now Trump won, he said so and if you can't believe Trump who can you? Of course, there are those who are more faint of heart and seem to waver up to even seemingly having accepted that begin of next year a President Biden will propose the new candidates for various government positions. I have no doubt Trump will soon twitter in capitals he won't condone such defeatism. All hail the Trump! (or else ...!) "Moderate GOP Senators to Approve Biden Cabinet Picks, If They Are ‘Mainstream’" news.yahoo.com/moderate-gop-senators-approve-biden-231729881.html"Republican Senate signals it will confirm Biden Cabinet Senate Republicans are signaling they will confirm most of President-elect Joe Biden’s Cabinet picks in January — a rare bright spot for a White House that may clash with a GOP majority for years to come. Many Republicans won’t even publicly concede that Biden will be the next president while President Donald Trump fights to overturn the election results. But a critical mass of GOP senators said in interviews that Biden has the right to his Cabinet, indicating he may be able to staff his administration largely to his liking." news.yahoo.com/republican-senate-signals-confirm-biden-093020632.html

^^^ Senate approval of the cabinet members isn't that important. Biden can appoint acting cabinet members without Senate approval, and run his party's policies through them. The Republicans will, undoubtedly, howl "unfair", but Trump has been doing this extensively during his term.
But it's really probably a bit academic. Biden is in no way extreme, and he's not going to appoint non-mainstream cabinet members.

A nice result which costs the Trump Campaign only US$ 3 million (of the money donated by Trump supporters). "Recount in Wisconsin county demanded by Trump increases Biden's margin A recount in Wisconsin's largest county demanded by Republican President Donald Trump's election campaign ended Friday with Democratic President-elect Joe Biden gaining votes. After the recount in Milwaukee County, Biden had a net gain of 132 votes, out of nearly 460,000 cast. Overall, Biden gained 257 votes to Trump's 125. Trump's campaign had demanded recounts in two of Wisconsin's most populous and Democratic-leaning counties, after losing Wisconsin to Biden by over 20,000 votes. The two recounts will cost the Trump campaign $3 million. Dane County is expected to finish its recount on Sunday." www.yahoo.com/news/recount-wisconsin-county-demanded-trump-021011966.html
