An important ally of the president of the United States, Trump, asked him to end the legal battle that challenged the election result and confessed his defeat to Biden.
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie described the actions of President Trump’s legal team that embarrassed the country.
Trump refused to admit defeat and proposed widespread electoral fraud without sufficient evidence.
Many Republicans support Trump’s legal means of verifying election results. Although there is a minority of opposition voices in the party, there is a growing trend.
Trump’s lawsuit in Pennsylvania on Saturday (November 22) was hit hard. His team tried to cancel millions of mailed ballots, but a judge refused to accept the case.
Judge Matthew Bran said in his harsh trial that the prosecution presented legal arguments in his court with no speculative arguments or charges. This decision will allow Pennsylvania to officially announce Biden’s victory on Monday, with Biden leading the state by 80,000 votes.
But Trump’s team indicated it would appeal.
Based on the outcome of the prediction, Biden will become president with 306-232 electoral votes, far exceeding the threshold of 270 votes.
What did Chris Christie say?
In an interview with the ABC program, Christie said: “Frankly speaking, the behavior of the president’s legal team embarrassed the country.”
He said the Trump camp often only discusses voter fraud outside of the courtroom, “but when they go into court, they don’t accuse fraud, they don’t debate fraud.”
“I have always been a supporter of the president. I voted for him twice, but the election was successful. We cannot continue to pretend that something is happening that has not happened.”
Christie was the first governor to support Trump’s candidacy in 2016. Earlier this year, she also helped Trump respond to the debate with Biden.
In particular, he criticized Sidney Powell. The attorney appeared with Trump’s legal team at a news conference Thursday and testified without providing evidence that the electronic voting system had transferred millions of votes to Biden and the reason Biden won. It’s for “Communist Party money.”
But on Sunday, Trump’s team issued a statement to keep their distance from Powell, stating that she is an attorney in her own practice and not a member of Trump’s legal team. But Trump’s post earlier this month specifically named her as a member of the team.
On Sunday, many Republican members also asked Trump to admit defeat.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan told CNN that Trump’s continued efforts to overturn the election results “began to look like we are a banana republic.” “Banana Republic” is a derogatory term that describes countries that have extensive corruption or are indirectly dominated by the intervention of powerful foreign forces.
Hogan called on Trump to stop playing golf and admit defeat.
Michigan Representative Fred Upton told CNN that voters in his state have spoken out and elected Biden. And North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer (Kevin Cramer) said in an interview with the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) that it is time to begin the transition period of the new government, but did not express his acceptance of Biden’s victory.
What is Biden’s camp doing?
Trump refused to admit that the defeat affected the government’s transition work, but Biden continued to prepare for his inauguration.
It will release the first cabinet list on Tuesday. The US media said that 58-year-old veteran diplomat Antony Blinken (Antony Blinken) will be appointed the new secretary of state, in charge of the country’s foreign relations. Brinken has long been Biden’s aide and has also done many jobs at the State Department in the Obama administration.
Biden chose Ron Klain as the White House chief of staff. Klain asked the Trump administration to help with the transition.
He told ABC News: “The record-breaking Americans rejected Trump as president. Since then, Trump has rejected democracy.”
He revealed that due to the new corona epidemic, the opening of Biden’s camp on January 20 will be scaled down.
