Joe Biden's victory has no setback, despite the fact that Donald Trump persists in questioning it and denounces the existence of illegal votes with which, he says, he wants to steal the presidency.

The governments of other countries congratulate Biden, even that of China.

It only resists Trumpism, comfortably housed in the Republican Party.

Illegal votes only exist in Trump's head and the authorities in charge of supervising voting systems throughout the country have issued very clear messages in this regard: lawsuits in court demanding the invalidation of votes or the paralysis of the count did not prosper. .

Finally, yesterday the pending States were assigned and with them Biden surpasses Trump by more than five million popular votes and has awarded 306 delegates compared to 232. There is no element to think that this situation can be substantially altered by the counts that are taken out where authorized.

Trump is in an untenable position.

You have, of course, the right to go to court, but your obstructionism without any basis of argument is unacceptable.

Their reluctance to acknowledge defeat and their refusal to facilitate the transfer of powers are factors of uncertainty for the United States and also for its allies.

Unlike all previous presidential transitions, Biden has not yet been able to access official buildings, confidential information, and protected communications.

No wonder his team demanded yesterday that he be allowed this access.

Locked up in the White House, the outgoing president no longer governs, he is only dedicated to delegitimizing Biden and complicating his presidency before it has begun, knowing that the extension of the transfer of powers will prolong the interim period at many levels of the Administration, pending confirmation by the Senate of the appointments made by the new president.

Trump's boycott of his successor is not only the basis of a predictable and constant campaign of erosion of the mandate of the new Democratic president;

It introduces additional risks to national security and delays the response to the two immediate challenges facing the United States: fighting the pandemic and responding to the severe economic crisis.

It is a huge Republican irresponsibility that Biden's team has not yet had access to the mass vaccination plans nor has it obtained all the information on the negotiation of the renewal of the New Start treaty signed with Moscow on the reduction of strategic nuclear weapons that expires the next February 5.

Despite the defeat, Trump remains the leader of the Republicans, probably with presidential aspirations for 2024. For now, the voices that from the conservative side dare to contradict him are conspicuous for their scarcity.

The Republican Party is awaiting the repetition of the vote in Georgia on January 5 for two senatorial seats, a very important election because the majority is at stake in the Senate.

In that state, Trump's performance could harm them.

The recognition that he has lost the elections by the current president is necessary for everyone, and also for his party.
