Kudlow: 'There will be a peaceful transfer of power' if Biden wins

Larry Kudlow, President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser, insisted Friday that “there will be a peaceful transfer of power” if Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is declared the winner of the White House race.

“This is a great country. This is the greatest democracy in the world. And we abide by the rule of law, and so will this president,” Kudlow said in an interview on CNBC. “There are some things to clean up here, and again, it’s not my area of expertise. I’ll leave that discussion to the campaign.”

Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council, also sought to reassure the international community as the United States entered its third full day of vote-counting, after a tumultuous week that saw the president launch attacks against the nation’s electoral process and level false allegations of widespread voter fraud.

“We will continue peacefully, as we always do,” Kudlow said. “And I might add, anybody from around the world, offshore watching this, they should know that. That America is the greatest democracy, and we abide by the rule of law.”

Hope you can talk some sense to your boss

[still_one]

1. lol

[C Moon]

2. ...as he holds a dejected Trump by the ear.

[awesomerwb1]

3. "IF"

They won't admit Biden won. This is just talk.

Pretty much a nothing comment.

[C Moon]

7. Ah. They're trying to make it look like Trump is being normal--and not having a tantrum.

If he doesn't concede, it's not that he's being difficult and planning on breaking the law, rather it's because he didn't lose.

[Budi]

4. Guess Larry drew the short straw

Jared , "Ok Larry, YOU tell him"

[Miguelito Loveless]

5. Given that Kudlow has NEVER been right about anything...

[They_Live]

18. heh heh

what would he know about it anyway? No one listens to you. Kudlow.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. You Beat Me!

My first thought was exactly that!
That tells there will be a fight.

[C_U_L8R]

6. He said... as he handed out his resume to various media orgs.

It's personal ass-covering time in the White House.

[ancianita]

9. Yes, you nailed it -- it's ALL Republicans' personal ass-covering time for the next two months.

[jayfish]

8. In Related News...

Trump dismisses top economic adviser Larry Kudlow via tweet.

[Hekate]

10. So who's going to make him go? C'mon Kudlow, where's the posse of honorable Republicans (LOL)...

...with enough clout to actually make him leave?

[thesquanderer]

11. Woe is us if it's up to Kudlow to "talk some sense" to the president (n/t)

[LiberalFighter]

12. First Kudlow needs to be fitted with cement shoes

[apnu]

13. It is extraordinary that Kudlow and other Republicans have to say that out loud.

That alone is a testament to how little confidence everybody has in Trump.

[LiberalLovinLug]

14. Republicans got what they wanted. The Senate, and the SCOTUS

Mitch and Lindsey are safe. They don't have to pass anything the Democrats want ( or water down any bill until its useless). Don't have to approve any cabinet positions that don't cow tow to Republican "values". Don't have to rubber stamp any judges period.

Without Trump, Mitch is the star again. Like when Obama won, and as soon as they had the Senate majority, he was beaming.

That they get to set the agenda, and also have Trump out of their hair, might be the best outcome for them. Experts say that 2022 will be even more difficult to turn the Senate blue. That's why they will have no problem pretending to "transfer" power to a basically lame duck Democratic President.

[Steelrolled]

15. The whole idea of Trump refusing to give up power

was made by idiots on social media. This led to it becoming a "story" that was picked up by cable news. Cable news then finds some "contributors" willing to talk about it, and give it further credibility. Now more news outlets pick it up and off it goes.

16. Anyone who believes this, I've got a ship I'll sell you.

Its name is "Titanic" and it's located at the bottom of the ocean.

[bucolic_frolic]

17. A peaceful transfer of Kudlow?

Where are we sending him?

[Skittles]

19. "we abide by the rule of law"

[PoliticAverse]

20. But lots and lots of whining. n/t

[handmade34]

21. ...

[elias7]

22. Now there's a guy we can trust. I'm sure he's skippering the ship

[Lord Ludd]

23. Glad you agree, Larry. Now STFU & get lost. nt

[David__77]

24. Trump seems to be willing fascist, without a sufficient institutional base of support.

I think that if he thought he would achieve success via what would amount to a military, he would go ahead and do that. Numerous Republicans, like Crenshaw, are clearly communicating that the norms of electoral process will be upheld.

26. We've gone from "if" to "yes, that's what's going to happen"
