[Washington = Wataru Shiraishi]President Trump was playing on a golf course near Washington on the 7th when US media reported that former Vice President Byden of the Japan Democratic Party would be elected. Trump refused to declare defeat and is ready to continue the legal battle, but there are voices from family members and the Republican Party that he must admit defeat.
Trump visited the golf course on the 8th, but no press conferences were held. On Twitter, he complained, “The election observer couldn’t get to the counter” and “When did the media start deciding on the president?” It has not shown clear evidence of fraud, but intends to file a new lawsuit.
However, there are many opinions that “there is little chance of winning” (ABC TV) due to the difference in votes with Mr. Byden. Therefore, according to CNN TV, Mrs. Melania and Trump’s son-in-law, a senior adviser to President Kushner, urge Trump to “accept defeat.” On the other hand, his sons, Jr. and Eric, are said to be insisting on an all-out fight, and it seems their families are divided.
Even within the Republican Party, there is a gradual movement away from Mr. Trump, saying, “Without evidence of fraud, we cannot blindly support” (former New Jersey Governor Christie).
Former Republican President Bush issued a statement on the 8th, saying: “Although there are political differences, Mr. Byden is a good person. He has had the opportunity to lead and unite the country.” He called Mr. Byden and revealed that he thanked Mr. Byden for his speech on the 7th, which called for unity.
As Byden’s voice of victory grows stronger, attention will turn to how much Trump will continue to stick with the legal battle.
◆ Camp executives denied coverage on Twitter.
Executives in Trump’s field denied on Twitter that “the report is not true” in response to reports from the family that they should accept defeat. Ms Melania also posted on the official Twitter post: “All legal votes must be counted except illegal ones.”
