More Republicans are beginning to speak out and encourage the Trump administration to allow President-elect Joe Biden to start the transition process.

On Saturday, Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) noted that a federal judge had dismissed a Trump campaign lawsuit alleging widespread fraud and congratulated Biden. 

Toomey also encouraged Trump to acknowledge the results of the election as he had “exhausted all plausible legal options to challenge the result of the presidential race in Pennsylvania.”

On Sunday, Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) told NBC’s Chuck Todd he believes “there has to be an end” to President Donald Trump‘s legal efforts to challenge the results of the election.

“It’s past time to start a transition, to at least cooperate with a transition. I’d rather have a president who has more than one day to prepare, should Joe Biden end up winning this”, Cramer said. 

Todd pressed Cramer on whether he believes the head of the Government Services Administration (GSA) should sign the paperwork on Monday that would allow the transition to begin.

“Yeah, it should happen tomorrow morning because it didn’t happen last Monday morning. I just think you have to begin that process, give the incoming administration all the time they need,” he responded.

Still, Cramer said he believes Biden has been “a bit overdramatic as it relates” to the distribution of a potential COVID-19 vaccine. He explained that the Trump administration’s vaccine distribution plan is not secret and is being handled by the military. 

On Wednesday, Biden argued that unless his team is able to begin the transition process, “we’re going to be behind by weeks or months being able” to distribute the vaccine.

“There’s a whole lot of things that… we just don’t have available to us,” Biden said.

Additionally, Biden claimed that “more people may die if we don’t coordinate” with the transition process.

“They say they have this Warp Speed program that not only dealt with getting vaccines but also how to distribute this. If we have to wait until January 20th to start that planning, it puts us behind over a month, month and a half. And so it’s important that it be done, that there be coordination now,” he said.
