WASHINGTON — Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., called on the administration Sunday to begin cooperating with President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team, even as he repeatedly defended President Donald Trump’s attempts to challenge the results of the presidential election with unproven allegations of widespread fraud.

In an interview on “Meet the Press,” Cramer said he doesn’t think that Trump has exhausted all his legal options, but that it’s in the best interest of the country to begin the transition process.

“These are legal systems, these are processes that are in our Constitution, in our laws. And they’re not just appropriate, they’re really an obligation, frankly, to the millions of Americans that President Trump is a reflection of,” Cramer said. But he added that “it’s past time to start a transition, to at least cooperate with a transition.”

“I’d rather have a president that has more than one day to prepare should Joe Biden end up winning this, but in the meantime, he’s just exercising his legal options.”

1. "Should Biden end up winning this"--

who's going to tell him what happened weeks ago?

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Cramer knows Trump is a grasping, lying sack of sh*t, who is trying to overthrow an election.

As usual, too little, too late.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. The Shoes are a pinching out there

on the Prairie. And if Cramer is "concerned",thinks are a hell of a lot worse on the Prairie than what is being said via the News.

5. impeached traitor lost

That so many Americans voted for an impeached incompetent is mind-boggling. That so many elected officials keep supporting attempts to overthrow our government is appalling. I wish that all of these mealy-mouthed deadheads would go live in russia or under other regime and see how much they like actual repression. Gdi

6. Standard GOP dodge: "...should Joe Biden end up winning this."

Biden's already won the election, asshole. Quit pretending there's any question and get on board. The president-elect needs the full support of everyone -- Dems and Reps -- to get everything ready to start on Day One. We've got big problems and we need big people to quit these games and give Biden the support he needs to address them.

Trump is not only the loser, he's becoming a domestic enemy that must be dealt with under the Constitution

7. Just another POS cult member

who opens his mouth and says words while not really saying anything. None of these people have a back bone. Sad

[bucolic_frolic]

8. The GOP will be flogged with this issue for 20 years, impeding the country's business

[CTyankee]
