House of representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi who is a democrat says the president should honor his duty to the constitution but that a president of the United States would place in doubt the idea of the peaceful transfer of power is well its no surprise because the president has been contemptible of science and governance.

Received unless the new welcome with protesters chanting vote him out trump says he will announce this weekend his nominee to replace Justice Ginsburg who was a liberal and strong advocate of womens rights she had requested her replacement be chosen by the winner of novembers election lets talk more about the list with our White House Correspondent kimberly how kids are completed the president s refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power feed loses the election has its course question rouse and. It has a right hes done essentially is cast doubt grave uncertainty over the integrity of what has always been a cornerstone of american democracy and that is the peaceful transition of power now the u. S. President has said that he really 1st of all believes that there will be continuation other words he doesnt kill lose but what hes done is said that if i do lose it may suggest that there was vote rigging that there was fraud and this is something the president has done for weeks now is suggested that because of mail in ballot being due to cope with 19 the fact that many people dont want to stand in line for in person balloting the results could be questionable now the White House Press secretary kelly machinating was asked about this she said that the president would accept the results of an election but only with conditions. The president will accept the results of a free and Fair Election and he will accept the will of the American People loses and its free and fair he will accept that answer your question he will accept the results of a free and Fair Election. Now its important to point out that the interpretation of free and fair could be very broad and interpreted in a number of different ways leaving open the possibility once again that the president may not accept the results now the other thing the White House Press secretary did in her briefing was point to the fact that it is not just the republican president but also some prominent democrats who are casting doubt on the election pointing to the fact that donald trump is challenger and 2016 Hillary Clinton has in more recently said that she believes that joe biden the current democratic president ial nominee should see the error should not accept the results especially should not concede under any circumstances so what weve seen for americans here the bottom line here is that prominent members of both the republican and also the Democrat Party have really undermine the credibility of elections at a time when americans are looking for some leadership and also some certainty as they approach this very important what could be a potentially pivotal vote and Community Launch group meantime of former pentagon leaders who have publicly endorsed joe biden.
