After a decisive loss, Harris can spare us her ‘peaceful transfer of power’ malarkey..
During her speech Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris told supporters she had called President-elect Donald Trump earlier in the day to congratulate him on his victory. Then came the knife.
Harris said, “I also told him we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power. A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny.”
The next day, President Joe Biden addressed the nation from the Rose Garden. Early in his remarks, he reiterated Harris’s commitment to a peaceful transfer of power.
Biden said, “Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory. And I assured him that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That’s what the American people deserve.”
Their mutual emphasis on a “peaceful and orderly transition” was clearly intended to mock Trump for contesting the results of the 2020 election. It was akin to saying, “We are so virtuous, and Trump is so vile and contemptible.”
Let’s enlighten them.
First, despite Democratic pollsters telling voters every day that the race was “neck and neck,” Trump’s 2024 victory was decisive. There is nothing to contest.
Trump swept every battleground state, some by wide margins. He won the popular vote by more than 3 points. The last Republican candidate to do so was former President George W. Bush in 2004.
Trump even managed to cut Biden’s margins of victory in deep blue states such as New York, New Jersey, and Illinois by 50% and nearly in half in California.
