Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is reassuring Americans there will be a peaceful transfer of power from the Trump administration to the Biden administration.
McConnell addressed Trump’s legal disputes regarding allegations of widespread voter fraud and noted the courts are handling them.
“We’re going to have an orderly transfer from this administration to the next one. What we all say about it is, frankly, irrelevant. All of this will happen… right on time and we’ll swear in the next administration on Jan. 20.”
Watch the video below:
McConnell acknowledged the president’s right to pursue legal options, as IJR previously reported.
“President Trump is 100% within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities and weigh his legal options,” McConnell said.
He continued, “Let’s not have any lectures. No lectures about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept the preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last one.”
Trump has not conceded the election and reiterated his unwillingness to do so Sunday, as IJR previously reported.
He seemingly accepted defeat in a Tweet earlier in the day.
“ won because the Election was Rigged. NO VOTE WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company, Dominion, with a bad reputation & bum equipment that couldn’t even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), the Fake & Silent Media, & more!” Trump wrote.
