“I am confident we will have a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025 when Donald Trump finishes his second term,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) quipped on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
Cotton addressed the Democrat and left-wing news media allegation that President Trump will refuse to leave the White House if defeated in November’s election. He described the federal government’s ostensible investigation of alleged Russian political interference in 2016’s election as the Obama administration’s sabotaging of the peaceful transition of power to the 45th president.
“This is once again the Democrats projecting,” said Cotton. “Barack Obama and his team often lauded George Bush and the Bush administration for having a model transition in late 2008 [and early] 2009. Suffice to say they did not repay the favor to Donald Trump. Rather, they sicced the Department of Justice and the FBI on him and his senior advisers — trying to set up prosecution traps for them, trying to undermine the peaceful transition of power in 2017.”
Cotton noted that Democrats are signaling their plans to peacefully accept Trump’s second term if the president is reelected.
Cotton recalled, “Hillary Clinton and others have been telling Joe Biden, ‘Do not concede. It will be illegitimate. There is no scenario in which Donald Trump can legitimately win this election.’”

Cotton address the “Transition Integrity Project,” a left-wing organization billing itself as concerned about how the Trump Administration “may seek to manipulate, ignore, undermine or disrupt the 2020 presidential election and transition process.”
