The Public Service Agency which runs various federal agencies has postponed processes to allow Biden’s aides to officially begin the transition. The agency said there was no “certainty” yet about the winner of the election.
CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, reports Biden’s team is considering legal options if the Trump administration continues to delay the handover of power.
White House journalists have said that despite objections, Trump is expected to reluctantly leave office in January. Trump has also spoken about running for the White House again in the 2024 elections.
At a press conference Monday, a presidential spokesman and a Republican figure cited allegations of election corruption. They urged journalists to help investigate the unverified claims.
Fox News, previously the president’s favorite news channel, stopped broadcasting the press conference, citing a lack of evidence about the various allegations.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Unless he (McEnany) has more details to back it up, I can’t continue to show you this,” said Fox News presenter Neil Cavuto.
McEnany told reporters, “We are just beginning the process of getting an accurate and honest vote count.”
He claims Republican election observers have not been given adequate access to counting votes in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Republican and Democratic election observers are kept from 4 meters to 30 meters from the city’s ballot counting tables.
Local election officials mentioned the need to prevent corona virus by keeping distance.
