Republican Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who is not running for reelection, is calling on President Trump to cooperate with a Biden transition citing the overwhelming likelihood that Biden beats Trump.
According to Fox News:
Sen. Pat Toomey called on President Trump to start cooperating with President-elect Joe Biden‘s transition team, becoming one of the few sitting GOP lawmakers to do so.
“We’re on a path it looks likely Joe Biden is going to be the next president of the United States,” Toomey, R-Pa., said during an interview with Pittsburgh’s Action News 4. “It’s not 100% certain but it is quite likely. So I think a transition process ought to begin.”
Since Fox News and other media organizations projected that Biden would defeat the incumbent Trump in the presidential election, Trump has refused to concede. Instead, his campaign is pressing forward with a series of legal challenges against the voting results.
So far, the president’s GOP allies have stood by him.
Three other GOP Senators have also called on Trump to accept the results of the election.
