Donald Trump on Monday slammed Governor Mike DeWine after the Ohio Republican said on Sunday that Trump should follow the normal traditions of handing power to president-elect Joe Biden.
Trump has refused to concede the election and the top administrator at the General Services Administration, has refrained from certifying the election outcome, a usually standard move that comes shortly after a presidential election is called.
“It’s clear that, certainly, based on what we know now, that Joe Biden is the president-elect. And that transition, for the country’s sake, it’s important for a normal transition to start through,” DeWine said during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
He added: “And the president can go on his other track and his legal track. We should respect that, but we also need to begin that process.”
