Update November 8, 19:12:
The
victory of Joe Biden in the US presidential election
allows the view of Nobel Peace Prize winner
Mikhail Gorbachev
the rescue of the last major
disarmament treaty between Moscow and Washington.
Biden is a sincere person who goes a sensible way, said the former Soviet president of the Interfax agency on Sunday.
"Now it will be easier," said the 89-year-old in view of the so far hardly successful attempts to extend the New Start treaty to limit nuclear weapons.
Under US President Donald Trump, Russia had recently seen little chance for the agreement, which ends in early February.
US election 2020 in the ticker: Lindsey Graham stands behind Donald Trump
Update from November 8, 7:09 p.m.:
In contrast to Senator Mitt Romeny,
Senator Lindsey Graham
positions himself
very differently.
This encourages the incumbent president to take legal action after the supposedly lost US election.
"President Trump should not give up," said Graham on Sunday in an interview with
Fox News
.
“This is a controversial choice.
The media doesn't decide who becomes president.
If they did that, there would never be a Republican president, ”said Graham.
Trump must go to court.
The Senator, who is considered a Trump confidante, cited the case of people who allegedly voted in the key state of Pennsylvania even though they were already dead.
Biden leads the state by 40,000 votes before the count ends.

Other Republicans are also trying to get Donald Trump to do the “right thing” and to vote Trump voters “conciliatory”, as Biden would like himself to do.
One of them is
Mitt Romney
.
He calls for people to stand behind Joe Biden as president.
The re-elected Senator from Utah did not notice any signs of electoral fraud, as he
reports to
CNN
.
“However, I believe that it damages the cause of our democracy when we talk about widespread fraud and corruption.
There is simply no evidence at this point, ”said the Senator.
US election in the ticker: Melania tries to appease Donald Trump
Update from November 8, 5:46 p.m.:
Even if some Republicans
adopt
a conciliatory tone, Trump's tweets, do not suggest that he will admit his defeat so quickly.
He quotes supporters on Twitter who also suspect election fraud.
His son Donald Trump Jr. also continues to stir up suspicions and in many ways adds fuel to the fire.
He tweeted that there were no violent riots, even though so many Republicans were angry.
And son Eric Trump also diligently retweeted views about election fraud.
After a peaceful agreement and the departure of Trump and his family, that does not currently look like
.
However, there are said to be two people from Trump's inner circle who want to get him to accept the defeat.
One of them is son-in-law
Jared Kushner
, as previously reported (see below).
But
Melania Trump is also said to have turned to her husband
after
CNN information
and asked him to accept the defeat.
A
CNN source
is said to have heard the conversations between the two.
Melania Trump
is said to have "offered" her opinion, as she is said to have done many times before.
US election 2020: Suddenly there are conciliatory tones from Trump camp - will it come to a "peaceful transfer of power"?
First report from November 8th
: Munich - In the history of America there has probably never been a president who
has shown himself so unreasonable
despite an official
election defeat
.
Trump is
still fighting
by all means - be it tirades on
or lawsuits - to avoid
having to admit
bankruptcy.
Some TV shows have already discussed how to proceed if Trump refuses
to leave
the
White House
even after January 20
.
But with all the lack of insight that the 74-year-old is attested to,
conciliatory tones
can now also
be heard from the Trump camp.
.... Where it mattered, they stole what they had to steal.

US election 2020: Ironically, "Fox" reports about peace plans
The reports from the
USA are
piling up
, according to which the still incumbent
US president
might eventually show insight.
For example,
Fox News
, known for its proximity to the Trump camp,
reports
that the president wants to "guarantee a peaceful transfer of power" "if the lawsuits do not open up any prospect of another term".
It should be said that
Trump
has filed numerous lawsuits in contested states and is also willing to file more.
According to
CNN
, son-in-law
Jared Kushner should
stand
behind the idea of a “peaceful transfer of power”
.
The station also reports that there has been no contact between
Trump
and his successor
Joe Biden
.
