Nancy Pelosi
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reminded President Donald Trump of the existence of democracy in America. Thus, she urged him to agree to a peaceful transfer of power, writes Real Clear Politics.
“I would like to remind you, Mr. President, that you are not in North Korea, not in Turkey or in Russia. And, by the way, not in Saudi Arabia. You are in the United States of America, a democratic country, so why don't you try to respect your own oath in the constitution? ” Pelosi said.
The speaker stressed that Trump should not ignore the election results, but rather go for a peaceful transfer of power. The politician stressed that this is all the Democrats want.
Trump said he would agree to leave peacefully if he lost the election to Democratic candidate Joe Biden, and this was confirmed by the Supreme Court. The leader of the Republican majority in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, also assured that the transfer of power will proceed in due order.
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.
