    The Biden website was essentially just archived and the new administration is working on building up the site. This isn’t something specific, almost all the old website links are broken.

    “It’s day two. We are in the process of developing, editing and tweaking the White House website. As part of this ongoing work, some of the archived content on the website went dormant. We are committed to reloading that content in a short timeline,” -Harrison Fields

    Everything is archived here: https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/

      That’s the part where I’m divided. On the one hand, I understand that they basically have to strip the website down to the basic foundation then rebuild it. On the other hand… I’m not entirely sold that when it returns it will have all of the things it once had. Only time will tell I guess.

        We know from Trump’s first four years that taking stuff down he doesn’t personally like is permanent. He ditched pages on climate change and LGBTQ+ rights and those pages for example.

        If you have any belief that any of this stuff will be returning, I have beachfront property on Mars that you may be interested in.

        Yeah, I mean every administration rebuilds the entire website after inauguration. I think it’s telling, though, that they didn’t have the full website ready to go.

      So the Trump team didn’t have even a WIP site to replace as fast as possible the old site?
