Without exception, world leaders reacted to the news of Joe Biden becoming president-elect with glee. Heads of state from Canada, the UK, France, Ukraine, Australia, and Germany congratulated Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Saturday. According to Business Insider, the congratulatory tweets to Biden and Harris were universally conciliatory and upbeat. It's no surprise, as Biden has been critical of President Donald Trump's approach to foreign policy. Biden has consistently advocated for a less confrontational approach to working with world leaders.
Former White House advisor John Bolton has had it with President Donald Trump's refusal to concede to President-elect Joe Biden. Business Insider reports Bolton asked GOP leaders to go against Trump's assertion that the winner of the 2020 election has not yet been decided. Sunday, Bolton said in an ABC interview that Republican leaders should tell voters 'Trump has lost the election and that his claims of election fraud are baseless.' Substantial evidence indicates that voter fraud has not occurred in this election, including a report from a group of international election observers. Trump's team of lawyers has litigated election results in all key battleground states. However, they have been unsuccessful in virtually every attempt. Right now, the Trump campaign is doing the legal equivalent of pitching pennies. Where are their silver dollars? Where is the evidence?

Decision Desk HQ has called Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election, and says Biden is preparing to be the country's 46th president. Until October, US President Donald Trump had still refused to commit to transferring power peacefully, should Joe Biden be named president-elect. Eventually, though, Trump backed down, saying he didn't want a transfer because he wanted to win. Now, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is seeking to soothe those who fear Trump may change his mind again. Business Insider reports McConnell assured a peaceful transfer of power between the Trump and Biden administrations. We've had a peaceful transfer of power going back to 1792. Every four years, we've moved on to a new administration. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Russia and China will also be taking part in the virtual talks hosted by the White House.
European leaders described the 46th President's inauguration speech as "inspiring" and said it was time to bring "conviction and common sense" to help rejuvenate their relationship with the US.
