Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump will agree to leave peacefully if he loses the election to Democratic candidate Joe Biden and this is confirmed by the Supreme Court. This condition is reported by RIA Novosti.
“Oh, I agree with this [Supreme Court decision]. But I think we still have a long way to go before we get to that, ”said the current head of state.
Earlier, the Republican Party, of which Trump is a representative, spoke about the possibility of a peaceful transfer of power after the presidential elections scheduled for November. The leader of the Republican majority in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, assured that the procedure will take place in due order.
Prior to that, Trump, speaking to reporters during a press conference at the White House, avoided directly answering the question of whether he guarantees that the transfer of power after the elections will take place peacefully. “Let's see what happens,” he said. At the same time, the head of state doubted that he would have to transfer power to someone based on the results of the elections. Trump also said that the mail-order vote is the only reason he could lose the election.
Representatives of the Democratic Party have repeatedly expressed doubts about the willingness of the incumbent to leave the White House in case of defeat in the elections. For example, former US Secretary of State and Democratic candidate for the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton, noted that Trump may try to challenge the election results, citing violations committed during the mail vote. The main opponent of the American leader in the upcoming elections, former US Vice President Joe Biden, said that Trump will face a military coup if he refuses to admit defeat in the elections.
