Even people close to Donald Trump have begun to warn him that he must now acknowledge his defeat in the presidential election. Among them is his wife, Melania.
The First Lady of the United States has warned the president that it is time to accept defeat, while Jared Kouchner is of the same opinion, according to a CNN report.
Although Melania Trump has not publicly commented on the election result, she has taken a position in private discussions. “She said yes, as she usually does,” said a source close to the network.
But Kouchner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, also reached out to suggest that he acknowledge his defeat, according to two other CNN sources. Trump’s spokesman, Jason Miller, denied that Kouchner had made such a move, saying he had instead advised him to use all legal means at his disposal. But the US network insists its information is accurate.
On the other hand, the two eldest sons of Trump, Donald Jr. and Eric, continue the “fight” via Twitter, with successive publications in which they denounce fraud and fraud in the elections, while demanding a vote count in many cases.
So far there has been no communication between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, as he clarified that the president lost the election, according to No. 2 of the Democratic squad, Kate Bedingfield.
After all, Trump insists the election is not over, that Biden was in a hurry to declare his victory, and announced that the legal battle over the election result will begin on Monday.
The president, according to CNN, insists on putting pressure on his lawyers to go to court, which will delay the formal validation of the results. On Saturday, the White House Chief of Staff discussed next steps with the legal team.
Meanwhile, some Republicans are publicly calling on Trump not to acknowledge his defeat. Lindsay Graham, a senator from South Carolina and one of the president’s closest allies, said Trump shouldn’t do that. But Texas Senator Ted Cruz has argued that such a move is premature.
And Roy Blunt, a senator from Missouri, still did not recognize Biden as president-elect today, citing the two trials of Trump’s attorneys in many states and the ongoing countdown.
