Donald Trump promised to deliver an orderly delivery in his speech, the recording of which appeared on Twitter in the early Hungarian hours of Friday. For the first time, the president of the United States has publicly acknowledged that he will not have a second term.

Biden Won, Trump Still Fighting: 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

On November 3, a presidential election was held in the United States. The competition between Republican Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden was very close in several states, so it was only on November 7 that it turned out that Joe Biden would be the 46th president of the United States. Follow the events and possible consequences of the prolonged presidential election on hvg.hu.

His staff took every legal opportunity to challenge the outcome of the November 20 election, which ended with the victory of Democrat Joe Biden, which was purely to ensure the integrity of the vote and protect American democracy, President Donald Trump said. in his video, adding:

however, Congress has already approved the final result and on January 20 a new administration will take control of the country.

His words contrast with everything he said before. A month and a half ago, and even on Wednesday, he ended his siege of the Capitol, which claimed five lives, and even before the demonstration he announced, he shot his supporters for defrauding the elections. In fact, when the rioters had already broken into the Legislature building, he wrote and tweeted about a recording that he had been unfairly deprived of victory and people had been misled as to why they could rightly be angry. It is true that in the video he had already asked the rioters to go home. The video and a tweet were labeled by the social site as only aggravating violence, making them inaccessible first, and then banning Trump from its account. So did Facebook, and then Instagram and Snapchat.

The president’s speech in the early hours of Friday was no longer about electoral fraud or the legitimate anger of his supporters: he called for peace after a tense election. “We need to cool our spirits, restore peace,” he said, then declared that he is now focused on ensuring a smooth, orderly and unhindered transfer of power. He also warned Americans that after a difficult year in 2020, “overcoming the pandemic and rebuilding the world’s largest economy” requires everyone’s cooperation.

He said it was the greatest honor of his life to serve as President of the American people and told his supporters: “I know you are disappointed, but I want you to know that our incredible journey is just beginning.”

He also spoke with the besiegers of the Capitol, opening his speech, calling the siege of the Legislature building “disgusting.”

It does not represent our country. And those who have violated the law will be rewarded. “

He declared.

He expressed it like all Americans, he was outraged by the violence. He claimed to have immediately seconded the National Guard and federal police to secure the building and clear it of intruders.

Trump spoke after more and more people called for his impeachment since the Capitol events. This is possible thanks to Amendment 25 to the United States Constitution, which establishes that members of the government can, by majority vote, delegate the presidency to the Vice President, in this case Mike Pence, if the President is unable to comply with its functions.

Pence said he opposes the measure, according to news reports, although in addition to the Democratic parties, several Republican politicians have asked the government to implement the 25th Amendment. Jerrold Nadler, chairman of the House Legal Affairs Committee, urged to the same Thursday in a statement.

The day America can never forget

On the day of the electoral vote counting, Donald Trump had called on his supporters to fight the presidential election, which he thought had failed. The result was an astonishing spectacle as protesters near Trump stormed the Capitol building from where MPs and senators had to be evacuated, sweeping through the ranks of congressional police.
