According to the Financial Times (FT), on the 14th (local time) in the elections held by 51 constituencies including 50 states and the capital, Washington, DC, candidate Biden’s Democratic Party won by securing a majority among a total of 538 electors.
That evening, several Republican senators told reporters at the Capitol that it was time to accept Biden as the 46th president of the United States on 20 January.
Congressman John Coron (Texas) said, “We will see the pages of history turn. “We will see a peaceful handover.” Iowa Congressman Chuck Grasley also admitted Biden’s election. One of Trump’s most loyal supporters, Congressman Lindsay Graham (South Carolina), replied “yes” to the question of whether Biden’s Democratic candidate was elected, and then he happily spoke with the new Biden-elect for a 10-minute phone call in recent weeks. He said he had said he was supporting the nominees he proposed.
In the US presidential election, electoral votes are more of a banal act, but President Trump drew attention by arguing that “a fraudulent act such as manipulation of votes by mail and counting invalid votes was committed.” President Trump and his staff tried to overturn the election results by encouraging the electoral team to ignore the November 3 vote and cast a vote on President Trump.
However, the attempt went unaffected, and Republican lawmakers are saying goodbye to President Trump, FT said.
