I don't remember it happening and wondering if this was unusual.

2008 is probably the closest situation. The Obama people were not bashing the Bush people b/c they were all working super closely together on the financial crisis.
In contrast, the Trump people were keeping the Biden people out of COVID meetings as recently as
this weekend.
The Biden people weren't even told (let alone consulted) about the massive changes to the rollout plan announced last week.
So, yeah, it is unusual. Add another norm to the list that Trump and his people broke to the detriment of all of us.
