AND GOING TO BE BLOWN UP.
ANY DESIGN FOR PENCE TO BE HEIR
APPARENT IN 2024 JUST WENT OUT
THE DOOR.
>> WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS, WE HAD
A STATEMENT, TRUMP CAN’T TWEET
BECAUSE THAT’S BEEN CLOSED.
AVENUE ISSUE
STATEMENT BY DONALD TRUMP
QUOTE, EVEN THOUGH I TOTALLY
DISAGREE WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE
ELECTION AND THE FACTS BEAR ME
OUT NEVERTHELESS THERE WILL BE
AN ORDERLY TRANSITION ON JANUARY
20th.
I HAVE ALWAYS SAID WE WOULD
CONTINUE OUR -- AND THEN IT GOES
ON, I DON’T HAVE THE REST OF IT.
BUT HE IS NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME
-- FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME,
PLEDGING AN ORDERLY TRANSITION
ON JANUARY 20th.
.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS
AGREED TO THIS IDEA.
THIS IS NOT A CONCESSION.
HE IS NOT MARGINALLY CONCEDED IN
THIS.
HE SAYS I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH
THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION AND
THE FACTS BEAR ME OUT
NEVERTHELESS THERE WILL BE AN
ORDERLY TRANSITION ON JANUARY
20th.
THERE’S MORE TO THIS THAT I
DON’T HAVE BUT SHANNON PETTY
PROBABLY DOES, WHAT HAVE YOU GO
THE?
>> AS YOU MENTIONED, NOT A
CONCESSION BUT ACKNOWLEDGING
THAT THE PRESIDENT WILL GO ALONG
WITH THE ORDERLY, PEACEFUL
TRANSITION OF POWER.
THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE HAS BEEN,
OUR REPORTING INDICATES A I LOT
OF PRESSURE ON THE PRESIDENT
THROUGHOUT THE DAY FROM MANY,
MANY ALLIES, INCLUDING HIS
CLOSEST ADVISORS WITHIN THE
WHITE HOUSE TO, IF NOT CONCEDE,
WHICH THEY KNOW HE DOES NOT WANT
TO DO, TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COME
JANUARY 20th, JOE BIDEN WILL
BECOME THE PRESIDENT.
AND THAT IS WHAT THIS STATEMENT
ACKNOWLEDGES.
EARLIER TODAY, YOU KNOW, I WAS
HEARING CONCERN FROM WHITE HOUSE
AIDES, FORMER WHITE HOUSE
OFFICIALS, CONCERN THE PRESIDENT
MIGHT NOT EVEN LEAVE THE WHITE
HOUSE.
THAT SEEMED TO BE A REAL CONCERN
AT ONE POINT THIS AFTERNOON.
THE STATEMENT IS HIM
ACKNOWLEDGING, I GUESS, AT BEST,
THAT HE WILL LOAF THE WHITE
HOUSE ON JANUARY 20th EVEN
THOUGH HE WILL CONTINUE TO
MAINTAIN THAT HE WON THE
ELECTION, THAT THERE WAS THE
FRAUD AND ALL OF THE
ALLEGATIONS, ALL OF THAT WILL GO
ON BUT HE’LL PARTICIPATE IN THE
PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER.
SO, I MEAN, I THINK THAT HAD
BEEN ANTICIPATED BY THOSE CLOSE
TO HIM, BY WHITE HOUSE
OFFICIALS, BY ADVISORS, FROM THE
START, THAT AT SOME POINT THE
PRESIDENT WAS NOT GOING TO HAVE
TO BE REMOVED BY THE SECRET
SERVICE OR WHOEVER ELSE THERE
WOULD BE AND MANY ADVISORS HAVE
BEEN TALKING TO HIM ABOUT SOME
SORT OF EXIT STRATEGY AND THERE
WAS AN EXPECTATION THAT AFTER A
COUPLE WEEKS THE PRESIDENT WOULD
BEGIN TO ACCEPT HIS LOSS AND
START TO MOVE ON AND PEOPLE WERE
TALKING ABOUT HIS FUTURE, RATHER
THAN ACCEPT THAT LOSS, HE ALMOST
SORT OF WENT IN ANOTHER
DIRECTION, SOMEONE AFTER A BREAK
UP STARTS TO SIT OUTSIDE THEIR
EX’S HOUSE.
HE STARTED TO GO SO DEEP THE
OTHER DIRECTION THAT THERE DID
BECOME A REAL CONCERN AMONG
THOSE CLOSE TO HIM WHETHER OR
NOT HE WOULD LEAVE OR NOT.
THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS I SAID,
OUR REPORTING INDICATED THERE
WAS A PUSH FOR HIM TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE’D BE LEAVING
THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY AND
THIS IS HIS WAY OF DOING THAT,
WHILE AGAIN, MAINTAINING THAT HE
STILL WON THE ELECTION, THIS WAS
ALL FRAUDULENT, HE’S NOT A
LOSER, HE’S STILL A WINNER, BUT
LEAVING THE OFFICE OF THE
PRESIDENCY COME JANUARY 20th.
>> I WILL READ THE REST IT SAYS
EVEN THOUGH I TOTALLY DISAGREE
WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION
AND FACTS BEAR ME OUT,
NEVERTHELESS THERE WILL BE
ORDERLY TRANSITION JANUARY 20th,
I HAVE ALWAYS SAID WE WILL
CONTINUE OUR --
THE REST OF IT --
WE’LL CONTINUE OUR FIGHT TO
ENSURE THAT ONLY LEGAL VOTES
WERE COUNTED.
WHILE THIS REPRESENTS THE END OF
