"We're beginning to look like a banana republic", Maryland's Republican Governor Larry Hogan told CNN's "State of the Union" program, criticizing the refusal of many in his own party to acknowledge Trump's defeat.
Biden's choice as White House chief of staff, again urged that the Trump administration - specifically a federal agency called the General Services Administration (GSA) - formally recognize Biden's victory to unlock resources for the transition process.

Critics have said Trump appeared to show little interest in the summit on Saturday.
His campaign has filed legal challenges across the United States, disputing the election results in key swing states, citing claims of election fraud, vote tampering and lack of transparency.
North Dakota senator Kevin Cramer on Sunday defended Mr Trump's insistence on ensuring the election was fair, but added on NBC that it is "past time to start a transition", adding, "I'd rather have a president who has more than one day to prepare".
A message seeking comment was left with the Trump campaign.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar and the seven Biden-majority counties that the campaign sued had argued Trump had previously raised similar claims and lost.
Michigan's board of canvassers, which includes two Democrats and two Republicans, is due to meet Monday to certify the results. Judges in MI and Arizona, finding no evidence of fraud, refused to block the certification of county vote tallies.
He warned that it's important for Democrats to try to understand why people voted for Trump, because it will be "hard to get big stuff done if the country is this polarised".
