The New York Times (NYT) reported on the 15th (local time) that the currents of the Republican Party urged the succession and the smooth transfer of power as a result of the presidential elections. Former aide John Bolton appeared on ABC’s This Week, arguing that the Republican leadership needed to admit defeat for Trump in the presidential election.

“It is very important that the Republican leaders explain to our voters that they are not as dumb as the Democrats believe that Trump has lost the election and that his accusations are unfounded.”

Bolton added: “I think it is becoming more and more obvious that there is no evidence (of negative elections) as the days go by.”

On the same day, President Trump attacked Joe Biden on Twitter, saying, “He won because the election was rigged.” When some local media interpreted the message as “recognition of the defeat in the first presidential election”, President Trump again added the message “a rigged election, we will win.”
