Biden’s team has had enough. He asks the country’s authorities to recognize the winner of the elections within the next week.

Joe Biden’s new chief of staff demands that the chief be recognized as the winner of the election. But Trump refuses to give up.

It has been more than a week since Joe Biden was named the winner of the election and the next president of the United States. But still, the man in charge has the advantage of admitting defeat.

On Sunday, Trump arrived with several Twitter messages that created confusion if he acknowledged the loss. At the same time, he maintained the allegations of electoral fraud, although no credible evidence of this has emerged so far.

Now Joe Biden and his people are starting to get impatient.

Delays important jobs

The longer federal governments take to recognize the election result, the longer it takes to obtain the rights that an incoming president should have.

This delays important work in the inauguration process, Democrats believe.

On Sunday, Biden’s close adviser and incoming chief of staff Ron Klain gave a clear message on what he thinks about the stalemate.

The federal agency General Services Administration (GSA) must confirm that Biden won next week’s presidential election, Klain told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

The GSA controls the transition between two presidents. They haven’t reached out to Biden’s people yet. Earlier this week, the White House is said to have ordered all agencies and ministries to block all cooperation with Biden.

Requires information on pandemic work

This means that the former vice president does not have access to important intelligence information. Nor does it receive financial or other funds to begin planning the acquisition.

In addition, it prevents Biden’s team from coordinating the work of the people managing the White House fight against the pandemic, Klain said.

– Joe Biden will become president amid an ongoing crisis. Therefore, it has to be a smooth transition, emphasized the advisor.

The incoming Chief of Staff also called on Congress to continue negotiations on a rescue package as a result of the pandemic. Negotiations between the two parties failed before the elections.

This week, there have been more than 750,000 new cases of infection in the United States.

Trump: said Biden had won, but quickly withdrew it

Trump, for his part, does not seem in any way willing to concede defeat. But on Sunday, a Twitter message got a lot of attention.

There, it might appear that the incumbent president made some kind of admission for the first time that Biden won the election. It is true that because the election was rigged, according to the tweet.

But just over an hour and a half later, he apparently turned around. in a follow-up post he wrote:

– You just won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I admit NOTHING! We have a long way to go. This was a choice trap!

In the interview with “Meet the Press,” Biden’s adviser Klain commented on the president’s use of Twitter. That Trump continues to tweet that he is the rightful winner of the election does not matter, believes the Democrat.

– Donald Trump’s Twitter feed does not determine whether Joe Biden becomes president or not. It is the American people who do it, Klain said.

Former Chief of Staff: – The delay of a growing national health and security crisis

The Trump campaign has filed multiple lawsuits in the wake of the election result. These continue to be rejected in the judicial system. Last Friday, Trump received three court decisions against him in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona.

Within the Republican Party, little by little dissatisfaction with the situation is beginning to manifest. Some of Trump’s party colleagues have come out and cautioned against putting too many sticks in the wheel for Joe Biden and his associates.

John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, described denying Biden access to classified information as unjustifiable.

– The delay in the transition is a growing crisis of national security and health. It costs the incumbent administration nothing to inform Biden, Harris, the new chief of staff and all appointed members of the government and senior staff, Kelly wrote in a statement Saturday, cited by CNN.

Demonstrations in Washington: at least 20 arrested

But among his own top voters, Trump still has broad support. Up to 70 percent of Republican voters do not believe the elections were free and fair, according to a recent Morning Consult poll.

This weekend, thousands of Trump supporters gathered in the capital, Washington DC. They wanted to show their support for the incumbent president. Like him, they believe that electoral fraud decided the election.

The battle cries “let’s not steal the elections”, “empty the swamp” and “USA” rang out well into Saturday night. Counter-protesters also showed up in the capital. They wanted to send a clear message: Trump has lost.

Towards night the mood grew broader. Several clashes broke out between anti-Trump activists and Trump supporters.

At least 20 are said to have been arrested. Among the charges: gun law violations, bodily injury, and attacks on police. The groups shouted insults at each other, bottles were thrown at each other and ended up in regular fights with blows and kicks.
