By JOSH DAWSEY AND DAVID A. FAHRENTHOLD | The Washington Post | Published: December 19, 2020 WASHINGTON Vice President Mike Pence has begun looking for a new home in the Washington suburbs, and he s planning a valedictory foreign trip to begin the day Congress counts the electoral college votes. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has discussed opening a consulting firm with other White House aides and allies. Top economic adviser Larry Kudlow has told friends he is planning to return to broadcasting, and he has his next gigs lined up. As President Donald Trump remains defiant, refusing to publicly acknowledge that he lost the Nov. 3 election, all signs around the White House point to a four-year whirlwind coming to an end. Aides are quietly lining up next jobs, friends are wrangling last-minute favors and Cabinet secretaries are giving exit interviews.

Biden told reporters on Wednesday in Wilmington, Del., that he would get the vaccine publicly to bolster public confidence.
