Thượng nghị sĩ Lamar Alexander của Tennessee hôm thứ Sáu đã trở thành đảng viên Cộng hòa cấp cao nhất trực tiếp kêu gọi Tổng thống Trump bắt đầu tiến trình chuyển giao quyền lực cho Tổng thống Tân cử Joe Biden, đi ngược với các lãnh đạo đảng CH khác từ chối công nhận rằng Trump đã thua.

Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, the retiring chairman of the Senate’s health committee, on Friday became the most senior Republican to directly call on President Trump to begin the transition process for President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.
Though he stopped short of declaring Mr. Biden the winner and said the president had a right to challenge the results until they were final, Mr. Alexander, a three-term senator, former governor and former secretary of education, said those were not reasons enough to wait to begin a vital process.
