A look at why Harris' campaign is still asking for donations
Away from Donald Trump's incoming government, Kamala Harris's campaign - which raised almost $1bn (£788m) in funds during the build up to the election - is continuing to ask for donations, even after the election.
As a result, questions are now being asked about whether it racked up debt.
The BBC's Verify team have been looking at emails sent by the Harris campaign asking for donations that they say will go towards recounts and legal challenges for Democrats in tight House and Senate races.
Trump's administration picks still need to be vetted - but how?
We said in our last post that President-elect Donald Trump's picks for his administration staff still have to be confirmed - here's a look at how that works.
More than 1,000 positions, including Trump’s prospective cabinet members, typically need to be approved by the Senate.
This process requires nominees to submit financial disclosure forms, fill out a questionnaire - which differs based on the role - and testify before a Senate committee.
These hearings can sometimes be contentious. They allow members from both political parties to question nominees about their backgrounds and plans for the post. The committee then votes on the nominee and if it approves, the full Senate then votes on the nominee.
