Over a dozen companies are gearing up for Joe Biden to enter the White House with a recent hiring spree of lobbyists.

Lyft Inc., the San Francisco-based ridesharing company, hired a lobbyist who was a director of legislative affairs for Biden when he was vice president.

Both in the buildup to Election Day and the days that followed, at least a dozen businesses started hiring lobbyists, with some having ties to Biden himself. Most national polls had Biden ahead of President Donald Trump going into Nov. 3. NBC News and other major outlets called the race for the former vice president on Nov. 7.

Lyft Inc., the San Francisco-based ridesharing company, hired a lobbyist who was a director of legislative affairs for Biden when he was vice president, according to the disclosure report. Sudafi Henry, the former Biden legislative affairs director, and Darrel Thompson, who previously held numerous positions under former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, were registered to start lobbying on Nov. 6. Reid has been a staunch ally of Biden's for years.

After recently hiring Petrizzo for a wide range of issues, some of which are connected to coronavirus relief bills, Medical Alley's CEO sent a letter to Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and their transition team.

I didn't think the left was liked lobbyists...? Hypocrites

I guess the Biden administration already put up the For Sale sign.

ladies &gentlemen this is exactly why the establishment fought Trump with every resource possible. A good friend of mine is a lifelong Republican, an establishment man who became a lobbyist. he became a never Trumper because he couldn’t make money off his admin. DrainTheSwamp
