Several congressional Republicans said they were committed to a peaceful election process and transfer of power if Democrats win the White House, one day after President Trump declined to do so

, Mr. Trump was asked if he would commit to a peaceful transfer whether he won or lost in November. “Well, we’re going to have to see what happens,” he responded. “I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots. The ballots are out of control.”

Pressed on the question, the president said, “Get rid of the ballots and…we’ll have a very peaceful—there won’t be a transfer. Frankly, there’ll be a continuation.” Democrats quickly criticized the president for his remarks, and several Republicans did so Thursday as well—without directly mentioning Mr. Trump.

“The winner of the November 3rd election will be inaugurated on January 20th,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a tweet. “There will be an orderly transition just as there has been every four years since 1792.”

OBAMA SIENDO VICEPRESIDENTE JOE BIDEN MEDIANTE RAPIDO Y FURIOSO EN UNIÓN CON EL PRIAN ARMARON A LOS NARCOS PARA ASESINAR A LOS MEXICANOS. (OBAMA BEING VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN THROUGH FAST AND FURIOUS IN UNION WITH THE PRIAN THEY ARMED THE NARCOS TO MURDER THE MEXICANS)

Breaking: Several hundred million people don’t care about this story....because it’s dumb......

pdacosta Worthless words again from the GOP.

Didn’t Hillary just tell Biden never concede?

And unlike Simon bar sinister here, the Republicans know that he will loose the election- hence the rush to scoot the SCOTUS

Just because we’ve never seen as many ballots by mail doesn’t make it invalid or tainted. If that were the case, US would still be operating like it was 1950.

Many of those same Republicans said they wouldn't vote to fill a SCOTUS seat in an election year, even if there was a Republican in office. The GOP is the party of Trump. And like him, their word means nothing. They will lie to you straight to your face and stab you in the back.

Fake News extends to the WSJ, now. TRUMP did NOT say he would not assure a peaceful transition if Biden won in a fair election. What he said was he would have to make sure it was a legitimate election, not stolen by invalidated ballots. REPORT THE WHOLE STORY!

Democrats are not going to win. It's the Democrats we need to worry about. Hillary told Biden to never recede. They are going to be the problem.

News flash to all of you who waste your time and attention on this topic. TRUMP HAS NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER. At noon on January 20, 2021 he will either be inaugurated again, eliminating a transfer of power, or his successor will become POTUS in that moment, on that date. Period.

Trump is a broken man

pdacosta Yeah, their promises aren’t worth much

The GOP have proven themselves to be entirely untrustworthy. Their word means zero.

BUT Trump is NOT.

If only the Democrats had allowed a peaceful transfer of power in 2016.

There was no peaceful transfer of power from Barry to Trump.

Joes decline is total mental process

The half life of a republican promise is three seconds

just like they all pledged not to nominate a justice in an election year, right guys?!?

Oh please

Nice try.

Trump will dump them all if he gets to be dictator.

Regardless of which side initially wins, the other side is going to challenge the results in court.

Why has Biden hired 600 lawyers? Crooked Hillary to Biden: Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances.

Will democrats commit to a peaceful acceptance of Trumps re-election? That is the REAL question

That’s if you believe anything they say HouseGOP SenateGOP

The democrats didn't have a peaceful transfer of power in 2016!! WSJ is now run by Millennials joining MSNBC and CNN telling us how the violent arm of democrats BLM and Antifa will behave when they lose. Defund Police, eliminate Bail, free criminals and more! Easy Trump win!

GOPComplicitTraitors GOPCorruptionOverCountry The GOP as a Party is Destroying itself from within. The Voters in November Will Put the Final Nail in the Coffin of this Party for Good! It will Take years for them to be a Legit Party again after bowing to an Inept Narcissis

why do you folks keep saying he DECLINED he DECLINED to answer the question because it is YOUR TYPICAL gotcha question from liberal 'journalists'. the ONLY think we know FOR SURE is how the DEMS will react if they lose... THAT WE KNOW FOR SURE

We shouldn't have to care what they think though.

sure they are
