‘Trying’ time for new Joe admin

The looming Senate trial of President Trump is threatening to overshadow the first month of Presidentelect Joe Biden’s administration — unless it’s postponed as some have suggested.

It’s unclear if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) can delay the process by slowing transmittal of the single article of impeachment for “inciting” last week’s Capitol riot.

Biden called outgoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) this week to request that a trial just take up half days so the Senate can process his cabinet nominees, should Pelosi act before the Senate reconvenes on Jan. 19.

McConnell said he will not call the Senate back sooner.

“I believe it will best serve our nation if Congress and the executive branch spend the next seven days completely focused on facilitating a safe inauguration and an orderly transfer of power to the incoming Biden Administration,” McConnell said in a statement.

Meanwhile, another potential plan, floated by Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), a close Biden ally, would delay the trial for months.

“Let’s give President-elect Biden the 100 days he needs to get his agenda off and running,” Clyburn, the No. 3-ranking House Democrat, told CNN Sunday. “And maybe we will send the articles some time after that.” But that might not happen. “While the timeline is largely unclear, there is a likelihood that it would happen within the first couple of weeks” of Biden’s presidency, a source close to the impeachment process told The Post. The half-day trial plan could work because “the agenda matters just as much as holding the president to account,” the source said.
