    Oh you wasn't asking about Raskins not certifying Trump and being ready to start a civil war.
  • "If Trump wins, no I'm not confident at all. If Trump loses" that doesn't make sense because there would be no transfer.

    He doesn’t know Trump isn’t in office

    It’s amazing how you never see a Republican on CBS. What happened to neutral fact reporting. Everything is a talk about opinions now.
  • @KAHNUKING
    There wouldn’t be a transfer of power if Trump loses 🤡
  • @whit10mm72
    How will there be a transfer of power if Trump losses. Talk about gaslighting!
  • Like a hammer driving a nail, every media source synchronized with the same exactly worded message, looks like everybody made dress rehearsal.
  • @soloespanol4723
    What transfer of power? He’s not the president currently. If Trump loses the power goes from Biden to Kamala. 😂
  • @CoheffLove
    Where's kamalas interview 😂😂😂😂😂
  • @Gogetta80
    Glad to see Biden admit the truth, that his party is not going to give up power regardless of how the election turns out
  • @cobra6922pi
    Just look at him; do you take anything this guy says as being credible or even coherent?
  • @daverossv
    What power is there to transfer when Trumps not holding office 🤡
  • 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 It doesn't even make Sense.
  • @DogMomCMF
    Sad to see this decades long reporter go from CBN news correspondent to CBS. What happened? 🤷🏼‍♀️
