TheRepublican Senate Speaker Mitch McConnell on Thursday felt it was important to reassure the Americanvotersthat the leader who emerges as the winner in theUS elections 2020will be taking over the office on January, as per the original plan.
TheDemocratic House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi — who has been a victim of name calling byTrump—remindedTrumpthat this was not North Korea, and dictatorship will not work here."You are not in North Korea, you are not in Turkey, you are not in Russia, Mr. President."
A critic ofTrump, Senator Bernie Sanders too spoke against Trump's threat and said, "Under Donald Trump, we have a president who has little respect for our constitution or the rule of law."
The leaders spokeout afterTrumphas repeatedly blamed the mail-in voting system and alleged the system to be a fraud. On Wednesday he alleged that all the mail-in votes would somehow be for his rivalJoe Biden.
