Trump national security adviser says it looks like Biden won, promises 'professional transition'
Trump national security adviser Robert O'Brien said the National Security Council will work to make the likely transition to the Biden administration as smooth as possible. O'Brien's remarks were made last week during a global security forum sponsored by the Soufan Center and aired on Monday, according to NBC News. During the stream, he said President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris "obviously" look like the winners of the election.
"Look, if the Biden-Harris ticket is determined to be the winner — and obviously things look that way now — we'll have a very professional transition from the National Security Council," he said, adding that the Biden team is "going to have very professional folks who are coming in to take these positions, many of whom have been here before and spent a lot of time in the White House in prior administrations. And the great thing in the United States of America, we've passed the baton and had peaceful, successful transitions even in the most contentious periods." O'Brien continued, "I'm old enough to remember Bush v. Gore, and the transition there didn't start until mid-December. And yet, it got done. And if we're in a situation where we're not going into a Trump second term, which I think people where I'm sitting in the White House would like to see, if it's another outcome, it will be a professional transition. There's no question about it."
The adviser's comments stand in stark contrast to several others in President Trump's orbit, whether from the campaign or the White House. Despite every major media outlet projecting Biden the victor of the election, the Trump campaign is contesting the results in a number of battleground states, and it has filed a litany of lawsuits to overturn the vote, although most have not amounted to much. The campaign has also shared repeated claims of widespread voter fraud and irregularities, but it has yet to provide proof that the claims are accurate. The president has refused to concede. Over the weekend, he tweeted that Biden "won" before claiming that it was the result of election fraud. He then said that the comment was in no way a concession. Both Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and White House trade adviser Peter Navarro have said they anticipate a second Trump term.
