After President Trump refused to promise a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the 2020 election, lawmakers pushed back on his statements.

the agency has not historically seen "any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it's by mail or otherwise."

That could leave room for candidates to cast doubt on the outcome of the election. Social media companies are already preparing for the possibility of one candidate prematurely claiming a victory. And with one Supreme Court seat open following t "Bottom line is whatever the court decides I will accept," Graham said Thursday. "Al Gore's greatest legacy in many ways, to me, is what he did after he lost. He accepted a result of the Supreme Court that was 5-4, like 500 votes in the state of Florida.

In statements on Twitter, several other Republicans reaffirmed a peaceful transition, though they did not call out Trump by name or directly reference his comments.Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, who has been critical of Trump. "Any suggestion that a president might not respect this Constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable."Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. "It may take longer than usual to know the outcome, but it will be a valid one[.

Did you mention the Biden team has already put a team together to challenge the election in case he loses.....oh wait, why tell the whole truth.

Sad man.

Trump will win, period.

I fucking hope he dont leave that would be awesome!!!

Hey, remember how you guys used to complain about Dem administrations not offering enough policy clarity for companies to operate efficiently? How much is clarity a factor when a Republican announces he's gonna burn The Electoral Process & govern by whim?

Jokingly, He says what he says to keep you all preoccupied, You silly gooses

You people, my God who believes there is one thing non partisan left in you.

Yeah right Trump is the symbol of America it's a pity to see a once upon a time country a beacon of meaning and reason quickly spiral downward to a fifth world underdeveloped one run by mobsters and self serving idiot.

Please show the full interview where he said that. No snips or creative framing. Just the interview, from beginning to end. This is a lie. You should be ashamed, people are hurting because of the divide you are perpetuating.

Democrats and what are you all so scared of to continue lie after lie. If you all don’t cheat, oh wait you have already been caught for throwing out military ballots. The president never refused to gracefully step down from office if it was a true and honest election.

King Trump! 🤣🤣🤣

CNBC peddling this stupid story?

i thought it was Obama as he is still around.

Traitor Obama weaponized CIA, DOJ, FBI. Used UK, Italy, Australia spies. 1. To block a presidential candidate 2. To sabotage a peaceful transition of power 3. To overthrow a duly-elected government All attempts to reverse election results.

Do u mean like Obama did when he spied on Trump, that kinda peaceful transfer.......

It was Hillary who didn't accept her defeat in 2016

He's already Won Trump2020LandslideVictory

Because everyone knows it ie dems inciting riots and murders

USA has become a parody account of USA

Did they?

Who else refused a peaceful transition of power?

We do have to be careful

Libs still are crying about 2016

Now do Obama after he left in 2016... You won't because you're fake news!

These people are starting to sound like girl scouts with their crying

Swing State Lawmakers, Legal Experts Doubt Reported Trump Plan To ‘Bypass’ Popular VoteOfficials in at least three battleground states say they haven’t discussed the “nightmare scenario.” Trump's ascendance to the presidency was never meant to be equated to a monarchy: you win, you stay, you lose, you pack and leave! Period! By the way, any RBG replacement in the Supreme Court MUST recuse herself now that it's clear her role is to vote for Trump. Peaceful handing over of power is the hallmark of mature democracies. When one party cannot commit to this basic ideal, as a country we are heading into a category 7 hurricane. McConnell, Barr & Senate Republicans will live to regret this. Mark my words: this is just starting. Please. There is no opportunity trump will pass up to bend things his way, not one.

'It is time for you to resign': Schiff to Trump admin 'Republicans of good conscience'Rep. Adam Schiff reacts to Donald Trump's statements that suggest he is not committed to a peaceful transfer of power if he is voted out of office this November. 'This is a moment that I would say to any Republican of good conscience working in the administration, it is time for you to resign.' Boom. Dems are so unconfident and rattled Trump has announced it. His rallies are filled with the talk of a dictator. The cult cheers. They don’t want to be told to wear a mask but they’re applauding a dictator. Amazing. America's Putin. Putin 'eliminates' the press and the opposition.
