Sen. Lamar Alexander sees no evidence of voter fraud: Biden should receive briefings

Source: Knoxville News Sentinel

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Retiring U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander isn’t ready to say Vice President Joe Biden is president-elect, but he’s close. In the meantime, he said, the former vice president should have been getting presidential briefings for weeks.

Alexander made the comments Thursday afternoon in an exclusive interview with Knox News, his first about the election.

“It looks like he has a very good chance to be (president-elect),” he said about Biden, “and if there’s any chance that he will be — and it looks like there is a very good chance — I believe the Trump administration ought to provide the Biden administration with all the transition materials and sources and meetings necessary so we have a smooth transition so both sides are ready on day one.”

“What I would hope is that the (loser) of this election would follow Al Gore’s example and put the country first, congratulate the winner, help him off to a good beginning to a new term, whether it’s Trump or Biden,” he said. “Right now, it looks like there’s a very good chance it will be Biden.”
