Now there are a growing number of prominent voices in his own party who accept Biden as the next president and demand the same from the current incumbent.
“At some point you have to face the truth,” said Senator John Thune of South Dakota, number two in the Republican leadership: “If the Electoral College does this today, it will be time to look forward.” No comparable statement came from Republican number one, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Senator John Cornyn of Texas also spoke out against the presidential delaying tactics: “It’s just the nature of this election. There has to be a winner and a loser. Faced with the numerous legal defeats of Trump’s lawyers, he declared that his lawsuit strategy had failed: “There comes a time when you have to admit that it was not enough.”
For weeks, the party remained relatively quiet as Trump waged an unprecedented campaign against the will of the voters. Now even his closest confidants are missing. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is one of them. He said, “It’s going to be very, very tight for the president.” However, at the same time, all legal remedies must be exhausted. Graham should also know that this was practically done with the recent dismissal of Trump’s fraud allegations by the United States Supreme Court.
Election winner sends a clear message to the White House
Biden himself also spoke. He described the result as a sign that “democracy has triumphed in the fight for the soul of the United States.” And to Trump: “These numbers represented a clear victory back then, and I respectfully suggest they do so now.” He was referring to the result of 2016, when Trump had won the election by the same distance.
A total of 538 voters in the so-called Electoral College voted on the future president of the United States. On January 6, the United States Congress in Washington must officially confirm the result of this vote. Those who are loyal to the acting president want to disrupt this process as best they can.
Unless another great miracle occurs, Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States on January 20. Trump has more or less exhausted the chances of Trump challenging the election in court. When Biden takes office, Trump’s term ends automatically, even if he doesn’t admit defeat.
