The reaction within the ruling Republican Party is mixed with the news of the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the US presidential election.

While candidate Biden’s victory is acknowledged, voices emerge in anticipation of the unit, while claims have been raised that they will fight to the end, saying the game did not come out.

But the Republican leadership is silent, the Associated Press reported on the 7th (local time).

Sen. Mitt Romney, who was a Republican presidential nominee in 2012 over the controversy with President Donald Trump, immediately tweeted the news of Biden’s victory. I will transmit. “

Rep. Romney said, “We know you are both of goodwill and respectable personalities. We pray that God will bless you in the future.”

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, brother of former President George W. Bush, also acknowledged Biden’s victory by posting a “congratulations to Biden-elect” on Twitter.

“I have been praying for the president of my country most of my life. I will pray for you and your success. Now is the time to heal your deep wounds. Many are waiting for you to take the lead on that path.” did.

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, famous for his “Korean son-in-law,” tweeted: “Because our country must succeed, everyone must want our president to succeed.” “We have a great challenge before us. Now we have to unite as Americans more than ever.” did.

Some Republican lawmakers complained to the US media about Biden’s victory and protested that the race was not over.

Senator Josh Holly wrote on Twitter that “the press cannot decide the president. The people decide.” The Associated Press reported.

Congressman Matt Gats, a pro-Trump celebrity, Kang Sung, tweeted that “some Republicans are giving up and preparing to fight for the next election.” “No.”

“No,” said Congresswoman Jodie Hayes, “the mainstream media is trying to convince Americans that it’s over, on behalf of their Democratic friends.”

Congressman Paul Gossa, who participated in a protest outside a counting office in Maricopa County, Arizona, tweeted: “It will not end until all votes are counted.”

The Washington Post reported that Gats, Heis and Gosa are all members of the House Freedom Caucus, a hard-line group within the Republican Party closely linked to President Trump.

Minutes after CNN and US media across the country surpassed Biden’s victory, Trump’s son Trump Jr. shared a New York Post article on social media alleging voter fraud related to voting by mail without comments.
