Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday blasted Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who earlier in the day commented, "There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration."
"Look at reality," Schumer said, responding to a reporters question, according to The Hill. "Secretary Pompeo, Joe Biden has won. He's won the election. Now move on. Let's bring this country together and get things done. We have a COVID crisis raging. We don't have time for these kinds of games."
Pompeo made his comment when asked by a reporter how the Trump administration was prepared to interact with Biden's transition team.
Biden has been declared the president elect by multiple media outlets, but President Donald Trump has not conceded the election, and his campaign has filed lawsuits in multiple states alleging voting irregularities.
Newsmax has not called a winner of the election, awaiting the outcome of the legal process.
