The current president of the United States, Donald Trump, receives support for his plan to take legal action against the electoral victory of Democrat Joe Biden. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in Washington: “President Trump has 100 percent of the right to examine allegations of wrongdoing and weigh his legal options.” Unlike the president, McConnell did not speak of “electoral fraud.”
If there were any irregularities in the election that would have affected the outcome, “all Americans” should want this out, McConnell said. “Some” legal measures taken by the president would not mean “the end of the republic.” McConnell has been a member of the United States Senate from Kentucky since 1985, where he leads the Republican faction.
The main US broadcaster declared Trump’s challenger, Joe Biden, the winner of the presidential election on Saturday. However, Trump has yet to acknowledge his defeat and wants to go to court for alleged electoral fraud. However, so far there is no evidence of fraud. The electoral authorities have not reported any major irregularities.
So far, leading Republicans have been reluctant to officially acknowledge Biden’s election victory. On Monday, Senator Susan Collins was one of the few to congratulate “President-elect” Biden on his “obvious victory.” “He loves this country and I wish him success,” said the moderate Republican, who had cautiously distanced herself from Trump on several occasions in recent months.
After losing the presidential election, Republicans still have a good chance of defending their majority in the Senate. The deciding factor will be two runoff elections in the state of Georgia in early January. Democrats still expect a majority there. The president’s room for maneuver depends on the majority in the United States Senate.
