Aatmja Kumari(Intern Journalist): The outgoing Foreign Minister, Mike Pompeo, created a political stir on Tuesday by saying that the transfer of power would be done in a peaceful manner for the second term of the Donald Trump-led administration. However, when his comments raised controversy, he clarified that he was hopeful that there would be an easy transfer of power. It is believed that the Foreign Minister has not accepted Joe Biden’s victory in the election and the defeat of the outgoing President Trump by making such a statement.
Officials and diplomats associated with the Ministry of External Affairs are surprised at Pompeo’s statement. Pompeo said, ‘For the second term of the Trump administration, power will be transferred in a peaceful manner. We are ready. The world is watching what is happening here. We are going to count each vote.
At the Foreign Ministry headquarters ‘Foggy Bottom’, he questioned reporters whether his department was preparing to make a peaceful transfer of power to the elected president and if not, why it was delayed or whether it was in a peaceful manner. Transfer will not be done! When asked if he believed in rigging in the election, he said that he was receiving calls from all over the world in this regard.

Biden has received 7.64 million votes so far and has the support of 279 of the 538 members of the Presidential Electoral College. In contrast, the outgoing President Trump has received 7.17 crore votes and has the support of 214 members of the electoral college.
The counting of votes for the 45 members of the electoral college is still going on. It is necessary to get the support of at least 270 members of the electoral college to be elected president. Harris tweeted on Tuesday, ‘We have elections and our country has clearly stated its choice.
Every vote in favor of Joe Biden states that health insurance is a right and not a privilege and we have won a clear victory with the most votes in American history. Harris shared the stage with Biden in Wilmington, Delaware, saying, “The number of these voices is about 7.5 million.” Hearing of the case by the Supreme Court is nothing else but an attempt to change the will of the people and the decision of the elected President which will never be allowed to happen. ‘

Half of those who were questioned in this regard were members of the Republican Party. – The judge has rejected the petition filed in Michigan and Georgia province against rigging in the elections.
