Several US electoral college members are under pressure to ditch Donald Trump as president.
In light of the growing concerns about Russia being voiced by the White House and intelligence agents,the view that Trump must be stopped in gaining weight among politicians even in Trump’s party, the eye of media.com have heard.
Many of those involved in in today’s electoral College vote have received phone calls and emails desperately urging for Trump’s election to be dumped because of his association with Russia and his worrying and questionable character.
The 538 men and women due to meet on Monday across the country to carry out the perfunctory vote, routinely done after practically every presidential election.
The revelation of a secret CIA assessment that Russia interfered to help Trump get elected has been a worrying thorn in the side of politicians across the board of parties, and the sitting White House administration.
No firm evidence has been provided to prove the alleged hacking. However, we do know that the American government feel pretty convinced that Russian hacking on Trump the election. President-elect Trump would be ignorant of any such thing if it did happen.
Donald Trump repeatedly alleged a plan to rig the election and give it to his rival, Hilary Clintion. President -elect Trump said he wouldn’t accept the election if he lost it, but now the tables seem to have turned around.
Clinton’s avid supporters and the White House are adamant Russia interfered with their elections, and have cited CIA reports of this allegation. If a majority of the 538 men and women later on Monday believe this, they could scupper the plans of the President to be inaugurated in January.
Over 300 Republican electors normally on track to cast their votes for Trump have been subject to intense pressure by anti-Trump campaigners to erect a strong barrier between Trump and the White House, and choose somebody else instead. The fear that Trump, whose proclivities naturally are warm towards Putin and Russians, will wreck America as president and danger its security is a big concern for many political heavyweights.
Lack Of Evidence
The problem they will have is the lack of evidence to support the dramatic and radical request. The Republican may not need evidence if they strongly believe the case made against Trump, but such a spectacular coup will not be good for the reputation of American elections unless the electorate agree with that too.
President-elect Trump may be having some sleepness nights if he understands the potential of things going horribly wrong in this last month. Not if he trusts the loyalty of those Republicans scheduled to vote for him. The American elections and the controversies that have surrounded it up until now makes it the strangest and most dramatic elections of all time.
President-elect Trump has been said to be the first of his kind to become America’s president. The business mogul overcame all odds in beating poll favourite Hillary Clinton and did this with the weight of the press and celebrities against him. If president-elect Trump makes it past this electoral vote, with the desperation of many politicians to have him taking off the stage, he will be the most extraordinary man to come to power in American politics.
President-elect Trump has surrounded himself with wealthy billionaires and some controversial individuals, leading to some of the cries of danger against him. His soft stance towards Russia has eased the hot and unpredictable tension between America and Russia, but this has also become the source of heavy worry among his rivals.
