Twitter will hand control of the @POTUS account to the new Biden admin on Inauguration Day

Twitter said Friday it will hand control of the @POTUS account to the new Biden administration on Inauguration Day.

The @POTUS account is the official account of the President of the United States and is separate from the @realDonaldTrump account that Trump uses to tweet.

This will also apply to about a dozen White House accounts, including the @FLOTUS and @PressSec accounts, Nick Pacilio, a Twitter spokesperson told CNN Business.

"Twitter is actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20th, 2021. As we did for the presidential transition in 2017, this process is being done in close consultation with the National Archives and Records Administration," Pacilio said in a statement.

An archive of Obama's @POTUS account can be found under the handle @POTUS44.

I bet they already have archived it to date, so they don't lose any of his CRAZINESS.
Then on Jan 20 @Potus goes to Biden's control.

@Potus45 will become a historical record Trump's malignant narcissism and other disorders, preserved for all posterity.

Good for @Twitter
I think they should archive his @realdonaldtrump to something else as well to preserve all the official rantings he did there as well.

He uses his own account. Jack (Twitter) needs to man up and stop supporting this loser. Suspend his account for all the reasons he has suspended countless resistor accounts.
