Finally, Donald Trump pledges ‘orderly’ transfer of power

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Outgoing US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that there will be an “orderly” transfer of power to Joe Biden on January 20.  Trump’s remarks came minutes after a Joint Session of the US Congress formally certified the Electoral College victory of Biden as the next US president and Kamala Harris as the vice president in the November 3 election.

“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,” Trump said in a statement.  Commenting on the certification, Trump said the decision “represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history.”

“It’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again,” Trump said, while repeating false claims about the election fraud. Biden, 78, and Harris, 56, are scheduled to be sworn in as the president and vice president of the country on January 20.
