Congressional Republicans, among them Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, on Thursday issued statements assuring American voters that November’s election outcome will be accepted. “The winner of the November 3rd election will be inaugurated on January 20th. There will be an orderly transition just as there has been every four years since 1792,” Senator McConnell wrote in a tweet. After Mr Trump drew criticism for his Wednesday comments, the White House on Thursday said Mr Trump will accept the result of the election. “The President will accept the results of a free and fair election,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said at a news briefing when pressed on Mr Trump’s comments which prompted fellow Republicans in Congress to convey support for a peaceful transition of power.
