More than a week after the elections in the United States, which gave the victory to Democrat Joe Biden, there are more gaps in the support of Republicans for outgoing President Donald Trump in the process of transition of power.
What is at stake is the fact that some Republican senators have publicly admitted that President-elect Joe Biden should now be able to receive daily information from the country’s intelligence services.
Senators supporting Trump who have spoken to the media on the issue include John Thune, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Grassley and Rob Portman.
Traditionally, US presidents-elect begin receiving daily intelligence briefings on security issues when victory is confirmed, with at least 270 electoral college votes, which in Joe Biden’s case happened on Saturday.
Conservative senators’ public recognition that Joe Biden should already be receiving such information shows that solid support for Donald Trump is beginning to wane, that the Republican Party has already understood electoral defeat, but does not want to openly challenge the president. outgoing for fear of losing control of the Senate.
According to Efe, only four Republican senators -Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski and Ben Sasse- recognized the victory of Joe Biden, while others such as Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey and Mike Rounds appealed to the administration of Donald Trump to allow the start of the transition process.
At least four Republican governors from Ohio, Maryland, Massachusetts and Vermont, as well as former US President George W. Bush, have already congratulated Joe Biden on the election.
Joe Biden will take office as President of the United States on January 20.
