By ZEKE MILLER and WILL WEISSERT WASHINGTON (AP) — A good-governance group is warning of severe consequences if President-elect Donald Trump continues to steer clear of formal transition planning with the Biden administration — inaction that it says is already limiting the federal government’s ability to provide security clearances and briefings to the incoming administration. Without the planning, says Max Stier, president and CEO of the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, “it would not be possible” to “be ready to govern on day one.” The president-elect’s transition is being led by Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick and Linda McMahon, the former wrestling executive who led the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term.

MIAMI GARDENS — When a reporter started a question to Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver by noting Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins might’ve been a bit off on Dolphins rookie edge rusher Chop Robinson’s first career sack, Weaver took exception Friday. “Oh, let’s not take anything away from the kid’s sack and blame it on a lack of technique by Dawkins,” Weaver started. “All right?

Miami-Dade County, a longtime Democratic stronghold with a large Hispanic population, favored Trump in this election, with 55% of voters casting a ballot for him. Exit polls demonstrated an increase in the percentage of votes for Trump from Hispanic communities in this year’s election in comparison to the 2020 and 2016 elections. For example, according data from Edison Research, Joe Biden won among Latino men by 23 percentage points, with 59% voting for Biden and 36% voting for Trump in 2020.
