Don­ald Trump can be seen at the vir­tu­al G20 sum­mit, but his appear­ance attracts crit­i­cism from an unex­pect­ed source. His suc­ces­sor, reports ntv cor­re­spon­dent Peter Kleim, wants to change a lot — but the dam­age caused will be dif­fi­cult to eradicate.

There are not many yet — but the crit­i­cal voic­es among the Repub­li­cans of US Pres­i­dent Trump are increas­ing. Because the incum­bent still sees no rea­son to admit defeat. The Repub­li­can Gov­er­nor of Mary­land com­ment­ed on this in par­tic­u­lar­ly clear terms. Even almost three weeks after the US pres­i­den­tial elec­tion, incum­bent Don­ald Trump is adamant and still does not acknowl­edge his defeat. Until recent­ly, he tweet­ed about elec­tion fraud in var­i­ous US states with­out pre­sent­ing any evi­dence. Trump’s efforts to change some­thing in the elec­tion result through legal chan­nels have so far come to noth­ing. Accord­ing to the news chan­nel CNN, Trump and oth­er Repub­li­cans have now lost around 30 trials.

But Trump remains stub­born — and con­tin­ues to boy­cott the han­dover to his des­ig­nat­ed suc­ces­sor, the Demo­c­rat Joe Biden. The polit­i­cal oppo­nent is severe­ly crit­i­cal. But crit­i­cism of the Trump team’s actions is also increas­ing from with­in the Repub­li­cans’ own camp — and it is becom­ing ever clear­er. Repub­li­can gov­er­nor of Mary­land, Lar­ry Hogan, accused the CNN pres­i­dent of mak­ing the Unit­ed States look like a “banana repub­lic”. “It’s time to stop the non­sense,” said Hogan. In a Twit­ter post, he urged Trump to “stop golf­ing and admit defeat”. Michi­gan Repub­li­can MP Fred Upton com­ment­ed on Trump’s sit­u­a­tion by say­ing, “It’s over”. And New Jersey’s ex-Gov­er­nor Chris Christie, who advised Trump’s han­dover team in 2016, called the cur­rent legal advi­sors to Trump’s cam­paign team on ABC a “nation­al embarrassment”.

Crit­ics are still a minority

The Repub­li­can Sen­a­tor Lisa Murkows­ki from Alas­ka, who is con­sid­ered to be mod­er­ate, recent­ly warned to ini­ti­ate the han­dover. She wrote on Twit­ter that the US states had made sure that the elec­tions were free and fair. Pres­i­dent Trump has so far not had any suc­cess with his legal objec­tions in court. So it is now time to begin the tran­si­tion process.

How­ev­er, the crit­i­cal voic­es in the Repub­li­can Par­ty are still a minor­i­ty. “I am embar­rassed that in our par­ty no more mem­bers express their opin­ion,” said Hogan, who had repeat­ed­ly crit­i­cized his par­ty col­league Trump in the past. The Repub­li­can John Kasich has a the­o­ry about the reluc­tance of his par­ty col­leagues towards Trump: “They are either in com­plete lock step with him or they are afraid,” he told the radio sta­tion NPR. So far, only a hand­ful of Repub­li­can sen­a­tors, mem­bers of the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives, and gov­er­nors have direct­ly or indi­rect­ly rec­og­nized Biden’s vic­to­ry. Mean­while, the process of con­firm­ing the elec­tion results con­tin­ues: In the key state of Penn­syl­va­nia, accord­ing to CNN, cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of the elec­tion results in most coun­ties will take place on Mon­day. In Michi­gan, too, the vote check­ers want to meet for offi­cial recog­ni­tion of the result. In the past, cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of elec­tion results had always been a mat­ter of rou­tine. It is a pre­req­ui­site for the elec­toral col­lege to be able to for­mal­ly elect the pres­i­dent on Decem­ber 14th.

Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion should be slowed down

In Michi­gan, how­ev­er, Trump’s team has filed a request to halt cer­ti­fi­ca­tion. Biden won the elec­tion there by 155,000 votes. In a let­ter to the Michi­gan elec­tion con­trol, the Repub­li­can chair­man, Ron­na McDaniel, and the head of the par­ty asso­ci­a­tion in Michi­gan, Lau­ra Cox, called for a two-week adjourn­ment of the equal-rep­re­sen­ta­tion body, which will final­ly review the elec­tion results before cer­ti­fi­ca­tion. This should allow a “full inves­ti­ga­tion of the anom­alies and irreg­u­lar­i­ties” in the elec­tion, said McDaniel and Cox. The state elec­tion offi­cer, Joce­lyn Ben­son, stressed on Twit­ter that there was “no evi­dence” to jus­ti­fy the ques­tion­ing of the elec­tion results. “In short, 5.5 mil­lion peo­ple in Michi­gan have vot­ed. The out­come of their elec­tion is clear. No evi­dence has emerged to under­mine this,” Ben­son wrote.
