McConnell pushes back on Trump: 'There will be an orderly transition'
Source: The Hill
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Thursday that there would be an "orderly" transition of power in 2021, after President Trump refused to commit to a peaceful hand off of power if he loses in November.
"The winner of the November 3rd election will be inaugurated on January 20th. There will be an orderly transition just as there has been every four years since 1792," McConnell said in a tweet.

...and since there is not a shred of credibility, well, you can only assume the worst.

This is going to get uglier the longer he keeps saying he won't leave after the election. We could very well see an all out
assault from the right wing nutjobbery.

(6,265 posts)the enemy sometimes tries to lull one into a sense everything is as it seems, relatively peaceful and then, in my experience, Tet will hit Jan 20, 2021. McConnell is responsible for this potus lawbreaker getting this far. I won't trust a word out of his trump shiteating piehole.

Maybe tRump has served his purpose and the rethugs are planning to accomplish their goals through the courts. They play defense well and could win the house and senate in two years stymying Biden the following 2 years. They have 6 Supreme Court judges and really tRump is just a liability to them now. McTurtle or the powers to be know they need to return the party to some form of decency.

Rules are rules; game over and anyone who has a problem with that, no matter what is decided, can be hunted down like vermin and eliminated.

He'll be so proud of himself. He'll break his arm trying to pat himself on the back.

He'll have the Supreme Court to back this up. Roberts, BTW, hates voting rights.

(12,092 posts)they will only take orders from the Constitutionally elected President and they will in no way interfere with the transfer of power, and Moscow Mitch is starting to distance himself.
Probably not, but it is something to consider.
