From ‘Trump acting like third world dictator’: Senator Mark Warner at #HTLS2020 · · Mint
“We didn't think it would potentially take place here in the United States, but in Donald Trump, even though he was soundly defeated by a six million vote margin, President-elect Biden received the same number of electoral votes, 306, as President Trump had received in 2016.”
On , Mark Warner, Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer & Controller at SEI INVESTMENTS CO, spoke about elections during ‘Trump acting like third world dictator’: Senator Mark Warner at #HTLS2020 on Mint.
In a September 2021 appearance at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Senator Mark Warner commented on the 2020 U.S. presidential transition. He stated that President Donald Trump had not conceded the election and said he found it "very disturbing" that Trump was not willing to go through with the transition. Warner said he believed no one in the White House or among his Republican Senate colleagues thought Trump could overturn the election results, but noted that many Republican colleagues had been "unwilling to publicly speak that out." Warner said that Trump's comments about a rigged election were "the kind of comments that you would expect to hear out of a third world dictator who doesn't like the results of democracy." He said that Trump's behavior tarnished America's global standing, but also noted that the election system had worked: there was record turnout, minimal foreign interference, no violent clashes between supporters, and the recount and judicial systems had upheld the results.
