Top Republicans are starting to acknowledge publicly that Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States, turning the page on the Trump era.
Congressional Republicans and even a high-ranking White House official have, in recent days, referred to the upcoming change in administration.
National security adviser Robert O'Brien promised a "professional transition" of power, saying it looks like Biden has won the election.
Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, acknowledged Biden's victory in an interview with The Spokesman-Review, based in Spokane, Wash.
"This is my second transition where we move from one political party to another in the White House," he said Friday, describing the incoming administration as having "an entirely different feeling or dynamic."
"It is a change in the music that is playing in the background. We go from heavy metal to classical music in one fell swoop," he added.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Monday afternoon referred to Biden as the president-elect.
"That will be the president-elect's decision, obviously," Rubio said when asked about Biden appointing Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, to serve as the next director of national intelligence.
