US Secretary of State, Mike
Pompeo, on Tuesday declared that preparations are being made for a smooth
transition into President Donald Trump’s second term.
Pompeo promised a “smooth
transition” but refused to recognize Joe Biden’s victory, insisting that Trump
will remain in power.
“There will be a smooth
transition to a second Trump administration,” Pompeo earlier told a State
Department news conference.
Joe Biden defeated incumbent
President Donald Trump in the tightly contested presidential election and was
declared winner by the media.
He recorded over 270 electoral
college votes and also had a higher number of national votes.
Although the Democratic Party
candidate has since assumed his role as the President-elect, preparing to
takeover White House, the incumbent, President Trump has refused to concede
defeat.
Trump has gone to court
challenging Biden’s victory in the election he (Trump) alleged was marred by
massive corruption and fraud.
Just yesterday, Trump expressed
hope of being declared winner of the November 3 presidential election, saying
results that would be announced next week would put him ahead of Biden.
Asked if the US can still be bold
to call for free elections around the world, Pompeo said the question was
“ridiculous,” adding that “This department cares deeply to make sure that
elections around the world are safe and secure and free and fair.”
