President Trump is silent on the outcome of the presidential election. The 11th of this week was “Veterans Day”, and although I attended the official ceremony, I did not make any particular comment. He does not admit defeat in the election anyway, so the next president, Byden, is in trouble because he cannot take office.
Yet given that it is President Trump who hates losing and likes weird moves, it doesn’t seem unnatural to keep resisting, like appealing to a legal battle for rebirth. The problem is that the main Republican politicians are also silent.
According to media reports, some members of the Republican Party have begun to admit Byden as the next president and recommend that Trump accept defeat. However, many are politicians, like Senator Mitt Romney (of Utah), who have long criticized President Trump and have a strong electorate without having to rely on “Trump votes.” it is.
On the other hand, other members of the Republican Party of Parliament, including Chief Mitch McConnell, the Secretary of the Senate (Kentucky), support Trump’s “not admitting defeat”, although it doesn’t say much. doing.
Now that I think about it, it is a strange story. This is because the Republican Party of Parliament in this election has shown a good fight both in the House and in the Senate that completely knocked down expectations and has managed to stop the withdrawal of the party. This means that almost no MPs are angry because they have been defeated by disgust, and on the contrary, many members have been elected by a small margin.
The key is the Georgia Senate elections
This means that the Republican Parliament has no merit in “delivering the results of this election.” Rather, “I don’t want to be handed over.” This is because the ballot sheets for the presidential elections and the House and Senate parliamentary elections are the same in many states. In the real part, the Republican delegation has no reason to undertake actions such as “recount” or “judicial fight.”
Yet there is a reason the majority of Republican MPs continue to support Trump. It is the “final vote of the Georgia Senate.”
Looking at the current Senate situation, the laborious aggregation of North Carolina and Alaska is nearly complete, and out of the 100 capacity, the Republican Party has almost certainly 50 seats and the Democratic Party has 48 seats. .. Two seats remain, which will move to the final vote in Georgia scheduled for January 5 at the beginning of the year.
According to the provisions of the Constitution, each of the 50 states can elect two senators, each with a six-year term, but the two members will not be re-elected at the same time. However, in the case of Georgia, there is a vacant supplemental election, so this time we will be subject to a public judgment on the two main election seats and the supplemental election.
The election took place, but neither seat is expected to have “more than 50% of the winners.” That means it is a final vote under Georgia regulations. In this final vote, the Republican Party can win a majority in the Senate if it wins even one seat. A Democrat can bring both seats to a 50-50 tie. In that case, the next Vice President Harris, who is also serving as Senate Speaker, can cast the final vote and the Democratic Party can control the Senate.
