Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the lower house of Congress, has harshly criticized President Donald Trump and his Republican Party for not accepting the results of the US presidential elections.
Criticizing the procrastination of Republican leaders in congratulating President-elect Joe Biden, Pelosi said they should stop the ‘political circus’ and focus on fighting the coronavirus.
“Stop the political circus and work to ensure the real welfare of the American people,” Pelosi told Republicans on Friday.
The speaker of the Democrat-controlled US House of Representatives said it is “deeply saddened” that Republican leaders do not respect the judgment of the American people.
On the night of November 8, major US media outlets such as CNN, Fox News, CBS, Associated Press, and New York Times announced Democratic candidate Joe Biden as president-elect of the United States. According to these media reports, Biden was elected the 46th president of the United States with 269 electoral votes. 260 electoral college votes are required to become president.
Final results for the state of Arizona were announced Friday night and Biden was declared the winner there. As a result, Biden has strengthened his position as president with 290 votes, including 11 votes from polling stations in the state.
However, President Trump did not accept the election results. Instead, it has announced a legal battle on the issue. It is rare in the political culture of the United States to threaten a rival candidate without announcing the results of an election.
