Mitch McConnell, Representative of the US Republican Senate.In the United States Congress, Republican leader Mitch McConnell congratulated President-elect Joe Biden’s victory on the 15th (local time).
According to the political outlet The Hill, President-elect McConnell said in a plenary speech that day, “the electoral team expressed their intentions.”
“Many of us expected the presidential elections to have different results,” he said. “But our system of government has a process to decide who will take office on January 20.”
“Americans can be proud to have a vice president for the first time,” she said of Kamala Harris, the first woman of color to be elected vice president.
This is evaluated as a comment that recognized Biden as the chosen one. It came after Biden had secured a constituency of 306 that exceeded the majority of the 270 needed to win the constituency vote the day before.
In particular, today’s comment is drawing more attention as McConnell’s presidential representative is the leader of the Republican Party in Congress, who has led the Republican Party in close cooperation with President Donald Trump.
When President Trump opposed the results of the presidential election and fought a lawsuit, he defended that “100% of the people can examine allegations of cheating and examine legal options within their powers.”

After Biden’s electoral vote wins, more and more Republicans recognize Biden as the chosen one.
Senate Republican No. 2 John Thun said the day before, “The constituency has finished the matter today, so it’s time to move on to the next step,” and Senator Roy Blunt, chair of the Congressional Joint Inauguration Committee (JCCIC), said the committee was “now From now on, I will treat Biden as president-elect.”
In this situation, McConnell’s remarks are expected to quickly spread the GOP atmosphere by acknowledging Biden’s victory and treating Biden as the chosen one.
At the same time, it could act as a strong pressure to conquer the results of the defeat of the presidential elections, greatly reducing the position of President Trump, who is not yet affected.
“I look forward to ending the 36 days (remaining until inauguration) with President Trump,” McConnell said. “Our country demands that we add another bipartisan chapter to the record of accomplishments.”
It is interpreted to mean that Biden will be recognized as the chosen person in the future and will actively cooperate in Biden’s inauguration process as well as the successful conclusion of the Trump administration.
The Associated Press said, “For the first time, President McConnell admitted that Biden was elected president,” and Bloomberg said it was “an important moment to further strengthen the defeat of President Trump.”
