Pa. US Sen. Toomey says Trump administration should start cooperating with Biden transition team
Source: WTAE News
Republican Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey believes the Trump administration and the federal government should start cooperating with the Biden presidential transition team.
"We're on a path it looks likely Joe Biden is going to be the next president of the United States. It's not 100% certain but it is quite likely. So I think a transition process ought to begin," Toomey told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 reporter Bob Mayo in an interview Monday via Zoom.
Toomey indicated he doesn't see his statement as giving up on Donald Trump getting a second term as president.
"And you know, if it turns out that the unlikely scenario actually comes about and it turns out President Trump is determined to have won this election after all, then the transition, of course, becomes moot, and it expires and it evaporates," Toomey said. "But I think that's not the likely outcome, so I think it (the transition) should begin."

... Chump said and did. He's an enabler whether he admits it or not.
Now that he knows he can't get re-elected in PA or anywhere else, now he thinks he can mend fences? It's way too little, and way too late.
