Over 100 Republican national security experts implore Trump to concede the presidential election

to Biden and start the transition process

More than 100 top Republican national security experts on Monday called on GOP congressional leaders to push President Donald Trump to concede the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden and begin the formal transition process with the new administration, according to The Washington Post.

In a signed letter, Republican luminaries from William Webster, director of the FBI and CIA during the administration of President Ronald Reagan, to Tom Ridge, the former Pennsylvania governor and first Secretary of Homeland Security, came together to urge GOP leaders and Trump to put the country's national security interests first.

Other high-profile signatories include former CIA director and National Security Agency director Michael Hayden, former director of national intelligence John Negroponte, and former US Senator and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.

"President Trump's refusal to permit the presidential transition poses significant risks to our national security, at a time when the US confronts a global pandemic and faces serious threats from global adversaries, terrorist groups, and other forces," the statement read. "The delay in allowing transition teams to meet and confer with officials on the Coronavirus Task Force and at the National Security Council, the Departments of State, Defense, and Homeland Security, and the other departments and agencies critical to US national security means that the incoming Biden Administration will be less prepared to defend America's security when it assumes power."

We know he won’t listen to anybody, just does whatever he feels like so that effort won’t go anywhere. We just have to look forward to when he gets booted out of the White House on January 20. There will be more dancing in the streets.
