Any calls for President Trump to allow for orderly transition but most republican remain silent or support the baseless accusation about election fraud. Reporter President Trump spent this sunday golfing and tweeting up a storm, early this morning writing this about president elect joe biden, he won because the election was rigged. Critics and some reporters took that to mean mr. Trump was finally admitting he had lost. I expect joe biden to be the next president of the United States. Its good actually to see President Trump tweet out that he won. But the president soon followed with a another tweet stating he, biden, only won in the eyes of the fake news media. I concede nothing. Rudy guiliani heading the team challenging the Election Results totality fox news mr. Trump is not backing down. Is the president in this tweet conceding this election . No, no, no. Far from it.

Do we have a timeline on that transition . Reporter Transition Team says likely within weeks and several biden longtime advisors will get top roles in the white house. As for the cabinet many names have been tossed around for various positions including Bernie Sanders for labor secretary, earlier in an interview the vermont senator wouldnt talk about talks about biden about the transition but is in touch with him and will do whatever he can in any capacity to help working families.
