Republicans Turn Their Back … Biden, ‘Blocking Against Offensive’

[아시아경제 조슬기나 기자] Republicans, including Senate Mitch McConnell, led by Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden, who are close to victory, to raise the legitimacy of the election results, amid suspicions of a rigged election raised by the president from the United States, Donald Trump. Reports emerged that they are seeking cooperation.

On the 6th (local time), the CNN broadcast quoted a Biden Camp official as saying that candidate Biden will speak with Republican Senate Commander McConnell and the like. President McConnell will play a key role in approving candidate Biden’s new cabinet if the Republican Party holds the majority of the Senate.

This is interpreted as a move to block allegations of unfair elections raised by President Trump without clear evidence and to ensure the legitimacy of the election results. Biden Camp, who has been considering the possibility of President Trump’s discontent with the presidential election since before the presidential election, is said to have already prepared the work to withdraw Republican support from the back.

In particular, after Trump’s press conference was released the night before, there is growing concern among Republicans that President Trump’s baseless claims could shake American democracy itself.

McConnell’s chairman, considered the core of the Republican Party, is different from Biden’s party, but has been in a long-standing relationship as a senator. “The current situation surrounding President Trump’s dissatisfaction with the presidential election is delicate,” said McConnell’s aide. “We will talk to Biden at the right time and we look forward to doing so.”

Biden Camp is known to be increasing contact with longtime GOP members in addition to the McConnell rep. A source said, “Candidate Biden has no intention of waiting for President Trump’s legal response to be finalized” and conveyed the atmosphere that he would immediately transition to the elected system.

The Republican leadership is also concerned about President Trump’s insistence on illegal elections as his defeat deepens. In another article, CNN said: “The Republican leadership is anxiously watching the actions of President Trump.” Reported.

Earlier, Senator Mitch Romney, the only Republican in the Republican Party in favor of the impeachment of President Trump, said on his Twitter that “counting all the votes is the key to democracy.” This is a rebuttal against President Trump, who insisted that only mail-in ballots that arrive before the election deadline should be accepted. Pennsylvania contender Pat Tumi also insisted that “all parties will have to accept the election results regardless of victory or defeat.”

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, when confronting President Trump’s fraud allegations, noted that “it is the Trump administration’s duty to clarify specific cases of voter denial.

CNN reported that McConnell and other midtown Republicans are showing a cautious appearance that respects President Trump’s fraud allegations but does not support them. President Trump previously claimed that “they (the Democrats) are trying to steal the election,” but gave no evidence.

Meanwhile, CNN reported that a fireworks installation was installed at his home in Delaware, where candidate Biden will speak to the public that night. It is observed that the presidential victory will be declared valid in the speech of that day.
