An incoming American president looking for money: Joe Biden (77), likely winner of the presidential election and soon the most powerful man in the world, is apparently struggling with money problems. Because the president of the United States, Donald Trump (74), who resigned in January, refuses to transfer the position (“transition”), the new president and his team will not receive any financial resources. Trump makes no move to budge, even if his days in the White House are numbered.
On behalf of Biden, his Vice President Kamala Harris (56) has now addressed the public with a cry for help on Twitter: “Since Donald Trump refuses to admit defeat, we have to fund the transition ourselves. Do whatever you can to help fund the Biden-Harris transition, ”Harris said. Delivery is required by law. The money is sometimes used to pay the salaries of hundreds of new employees who are hired. But Trump blocks.
The dedicated donation page lists fixed amounts ranging from $ 15 to $ 5,000, with the option to donate more. “In these unusual times, your support is valued more than ever,” they say. “Your contribution will help us lay the foundation for a fair and balanced recovery that builds an economy for the future.” Harris closes with appreciation for “being able to better rebuild the nation.”
Trump adheres to the Vogel Strauss principle
As Biden and Harris try to move into the White House, the building’s current resident has suffered further losses in his battle against the election results. Two courts dismissed lawsuits filed by Trump and his Republican allies. Even friends from the Michigan state party disappointed Trump. Now awaits the Supreme Court and another recount of votes in the state of Georgia.
A Republican senator from Pennsylvania, Pat Toomey, 59, said the president had exhausted all “plausible” legal action to challenge the result. In light of other legal defeats, it is now clear that his Democratic challenger Joe Biden won the election. Toomey thus joined a handful of Republican senators who have already admitted defeat for Trump. (SDA / kes)
