On Sunday, GOP Sen. John Barrasso said Joe Biden's cabinet nominees are going to face a hard road towards confirmation. According to Politico Barrasson said a Republican-controlled Senate should not expect an easy pathway to confirmation. "It's not going to be a garden party," he said. Barrasso said Biden's nominees will have to "run the gauntlet" towards confirmation. He said Biden's selections resembled a "third term of the Obama administration."
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has a ready response in case President Donald Trump spreads misinformation about the election. According to Business Insider, Biden will declare victory if news organizations announce him as the winner of the presidential election on Tuesday night. Campaign advisers say Biden wants to avoid taking a defensive posture if Trump moves forward with lawsuits. We're not really concerned about what Donald Trump says. We're going to use our data, our understanding of where this is headed, and make sure that the vice president is addressing the American people. Jen O'Malley Dillon Biden campaign manager Trump has privately vowed to declare himself the winner Tuesday night if it looks like he's leading the race. But on Tuesday morning, the president told 'Fox & Friends' that he'd declare himself the winner 'if' and 'when' 'there is victory.'
When it comes to his Cabinet, President Donald Trump has certainly lived up to his 'Celebrity Apprentice' catchphrase, 'You're fired.' Whether they left because they resigned or were fired, the list of former Trump officials who say they'll be voting for Democratic opponent Joe Biden is growing. According to Business Insider, some have joined anti-Trump political coalitions such as The Lincoln Project, Republican Voters Against Trump, and others. Hoping to sway the votes of independent, undecided, and moderate Republicans, they've spent millions on campaign ads to oust Trump from the White House. Former DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor called working under Trump 'terrifying," saying many things Trump wanted the department to do were illegal. Former White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, says he'll be voting for Biden. And former national security adviser John Bolton won't be voting for Trump or Biden. Instead, he'll write in the name of a conservative candidate.
For months, President Donald Trump has trailed Democratic opponent Joe Biden in the polls. At the same time, Trump has incessantly stirred fears of widespread voter fraud, despite consistently being rebutted by election officials. Now, Business Insider reports Trump told supporters at a closed-door event in Nashville that his campaign expects to dispute individual ballots. Millions of Americans have cast their ballots by post as the coronavirus continues to sweep the US. In several states, the GOP argues ballots received after Election Day should not be counted. In others, signature verification is expected to be a key issue. A Trump campaign official says the campaign has 8,500 lawyers on standby to 'sue if we need to.'
