On the 12th local time, several Republican senators called for the Democratic presidential candidate Biden to be granted the right to obtain the president’s daily briefing to ensure a smooth transition of power. Earlier, several US media announced Biden won the election on the 7th local time, but current president trump has not admitted defeat and still refuses to share daily briefing with Biden.

Mitt Romney, a U.S. senator and former Republican presidential candidate, said it is in our national interest for the “President elect” to receive a daily briefing, the “Capitol Hill” reported on the 12th. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican senator, said Biden should be given a daily briefing “immediately” as an important part of the transition. Oklahoma Republican Senator James Frankford said that before knowing the election results, the presidential candidates on both sides have the right to get the contents of the briefing. If Biden fails to get the briefing before the 13th, he will “step in” (solve). In addition, long-standing allies of trump, Republican senators Lindsay Graham and Ron Johnson, said they had no comment on Biden’s daily briefing.
“Capitol Hill” analysis said that although the above Republican senators have not yet said Trump’s re-election failure, but they publicly called on Biden to get daily briefing that will help him smooth transition, reflecting the fact that they think Biden may become the new president is inevitable.
According to the daily telegraph, the daily bulletin is a series of highly confidential intelligence documents provided by US intelligence agencies to the president and senior advisers. Although there is no legal requirement, for decades incumbent presidents have often authorized their successors to be briefed to ensure a smooth transition. According to the report, Trump’s refusal to share the daily briefing with Biden may affect Biden’s transition plan from now until January 20, next year.
In response, Biden said that while these confidential documents are useful, they are “not absolutely necessary.”. He said he did not see “any impediments to progress” and urged trump to have a dialogue with him. In addition, up to now, the U.S. Federal general service, which is responsible for the transition of power, has not yet declared Biden’s victory.
