Republicans distance themselves from Trump | Review…

The Republican Party is distancing itself from President Donald Trump’s lawsuits and his allegations of electoral fraud. Two strong voices on the North American right have expressed this distance, that of Mitch McConnell, leader of the Republican bloc in the Senate, and that of Marco Rubio, who fought for the internship in 2016 against Trump himself and is considered a presidential future. The two questioned the president’s declarations of triumph and his allegations of fraud.

McConnell explained that this year there are more states with advance and postal voting, options that more than 100 million voters have used and that candidates must adapt “to the rules of each state.” Indeed, in the United States, there is no national electoral law or specialized justice. Each state in the union has its own laws and regulations, and if there are any problems, it goes to federal court.

The senator added that one thing is “to say that one has won the election and another is to say that the count does not have to stop.” And he recalled that “the decision of the states on how to conduct the election is not the responsibility of the federal government”.

After denouncing a “fraud” without proof, Trump was proclaimed the winner Wednesday in Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan, four key states.

Marco Rubio came through it hard on Twitter: “Taking days to count legally cast votes is NOT a fraud.” The senator had already explained that for him, “the result of the presidential race will be known once all the legally cast votes have been counted”.

As if to highlight the lack of domestic support for Trump’s accusations, an old ally of his former Republican Gov. Chris Christie was also undercover, who assured ABC News that the process had to be allowed to develop before deeming it flawed.

“This is a bad strategic decision, it is a bad political decision and it is not the type of decision one would expect from someone who occupies the post he occupies tonight (in reference to the ‘Trump announcement in the early hours of Wednesday),’ added Christie.
