Um oficial que pediu para não ser identificado disse que Trump iria para seu clube de golfe Mar-a-Lago, na Flórida, que é sua residência legal e se tornará seu lar depois da Casa Branca. Ele deve estar fora da cidade bem antes de Biden fazer o juramento nos degraus do prédio do Capitólio exatamente ao meio-dia.
Depois de passar mais de dois meses tentando derrubar os resultados da eleição de novembro, promovendo falsas teorias de conspiração sobre fraude, a presença de Trump não era esperada na posse.
A gota d’água veio em 6 de janeiro, quando Trump reuniu uma enorme multidão de apoiadores no National Mall e mais uma vez afirmou que eles tinham que lutar para impedir uma eleição fraudulenta. Uma multidão invadiu o Congresso, interrompendo os procedimentos em andamento para certificar a vitória de Biden.
Por mais tempo do que qualquer um pode se lembrar, os presidentes cessantes estiveram ao lado de seus substitutos nos degraus do Capitólio, observando-os fazer o juramento – e, ao fazê-lo, mostrando apoio visível para a transferência pacífica do poder.
Trump, que sofreu impeachment pela segunda vez após a invasão do Congresso, também rompeu com o protocolo mais discreto ao se recusar a convidar Biden e sua esposa Jill Biden para a Casa Branca para uma tradicional xícara de chá no Salão Oval. Na sexta-feira, o vice-presidente Mike Pence fez o gesto de telefonar para sua contraparte Kamala Harris, disse uma fonte.
Embora isso tenha ocorrido apenas cinco dias antes do dia da posse – e mais de dois meses após a eleição – o The New York Times disse que Pence ofereceu seus parabéns e tardou assistência a Harris, descrevendo a troca como “cortês e agradável”. As recriminações sobre o ataque de 6 de janeiro continuaram a reverberar na sexta-feira, no entanto, quando o secretário de saúde de Trump criticou “as ações e retórica após a eleição”.
Em uma carta confirmando que deixaria o cargo quando Biden tomar posse em 20 de janeiro, disponibilizada para RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, Alex Azar chamou a violência de “um ataque à nossa democracia e à tradição de transições pacíficas de poder”, instando Trump a condenar toda a violência e ajudar a garantir uma transferência tranquila para Biden. A saída extraordinária de Trump contribui para a atmosfera nervosa em torno de uma inauguração que já estava definida para ser como nenhuma outra.
Na esteira do ataque do Congresso, milhares de soldados da Guarda Nacional assumiram posições no centro de Washington. E mesmo antes do pesadelo de segurança, os organizadores foram forçados pelas medidas de segurança da Covid-19 a evitar as tradicionais grandes multidões e longas listas de convidados. Para Biden, as cerimônias moderadas serão rapidamente seguidas por uma enorme lista de tarefas pendentes. Seu governo enfrenta várias crises no primeiro dia, incluindo o projeto nacional de vacinação da Covid, uma recuperação econômica precária e o julgamento de impeachment de Trump no Senado.
Ao mesmo tempo, Biden terá de persuadir o Senado a confirmar rapidamente os indicados pelo gabinete, permitindo-lhe formar um governo e trazer a estabilidade de volta ao país. O secretário de imprensa da Casa Branca, Jen Psaki, disse a repórteres na sexta-feira que o Senado é totalmente capaz de conciliar o julgamento de impeachment com as confirmações urgentes.
“O Senado pode cumprir seu dever constitucional enquanto continua conduzindo os negócios do povo”, disse ela. “Nossa expectativa, esperança e crença é que precisamos andar e mascar chiclete ao mesmo tempo.”
Des correspondants supplémentaires de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, ont été transférés aux États-Unis avant l’assermentation prochaine du dernier président du pays. Il y a eu de nombreuses spéculations sur ce qui attend le peuple américain en ce jour de l’inauguration présidentielle. Il y a eu aussi des peurs et des contre-peurs à l’approche du jour. Mais contrairement aux attentes de beaucoup aux États-Unis, le correspondant officiel de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, basé à Washington DC nous a fourni des informations réconfortantes. Il a récemment affirmé qu’au moment où Joe Biden prêtera serment en tant que 46e président américain mercredi, son prédécesseur Donald Trump sera déjà loin, après avoir quitté la Maison Blanche en hélicoptère la dernière fois plus tôt dans la matinée, a déclaré un responsable. . Trump sera le premier président depuis un siècle et demi à snober l’investiture de son successeur s’il ne change pas d’avis.
Un responsable qui a demandé à ne pas être identifié a déclaré que Trump se rendrait dans son club de golf de Mar-a-Lago en Floride, qui est sa résidence légale et deviendra sa maison après la Maison Blanche. Il devrait être hors de la ville bien avant que Biden ne prête serment sur les marches du bâtiment du Capitole à midi exactement.
Après avoir passé plus de deux mois à essayer d’annuler les résultats des élections de novembre, poussant de fausses théories du complot sur la fraude, la présence de Trump n’était pas attendue lors de l’inauguration.
La goutte d’eau est venue le 6 janvier lorsque Trump a rassemblé une énorme foule de partisans sur le National Mall et a une fois de plus affirmé qu’ils devaient se battre pour arrêter une élection frauduleuse. Une foule a ensuite pris d’assaut le Congrès, interrompant les procédures en cours pour certifier la victoire de Biden.
Depuis plus longtemps que quiconque se souvient, les présidents sortants ont soutenu leur remplaçant sur les marches du Capitole, les regardant prêter serment – et ce faisant, montrant un soutien visible pour le transfert pacifique du pouvoir.
Trump, qui a été destitué pour une deuxième fois record à la suite de l’assaut du Congrès, a également rompu avec un protocole plus discret en refusant d’inviter Biden et sa femme Jill Biden à la Maison Blanche pour une tasse de thé traditionnelle dans le bureau ovale. Vendredi, le vice-président Mike Pence a fait le geste de téléphoner à son homologue entrant Kamala Harris, a déclaré une source.
Bien que cela ne soit intervenu que cinq jours avant le jour de l’inauguration – et plus de deux mois après l’élection – le New York Times a déclaré que Pence avait offert ses félicitations et son aide tardive à Harris, qualifiant l’échange de « gracieux et agréable ». Les recrutements à la suite de l’attaque du 6 janvier ont toutefois continué à résonner vendredi, lorsque le secrétaire à la Santé de Trump a critiqué « les actions et la rhétorique qui ont suivi les élections ».
Dans une lettre confirmant qu’il démissionnerait lorsque Biden prendra ses fonctions le 20 janvier, mis à la disposition de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, Alex Azar a qualifié la violence d ‘«assaut contre notre démocratie et la tradition des transitions pacifiques du pouvoir», exhortant Trump à condamnez toutes les violences et aidez à assurer un transfert en douceur à Biden La sortie extraordinaire de Trump ajoute à l’atmosphère nerveuse autour d’une inauguration qui était déjà sur le point de ne ressembler à aucune autre.
À la suite de l’attaque du Congrès, des milliers de soldats de la Garde nationale ont pris position autour du centre de Washington. Et même avant le cauchemar de la sécurité, les organisateurs avaient été contraints par les mesures de sécurité de Covid-19 de supprimer les foules traditionnelles et les longues listes d’invités. Pour Biden, les cérémonies tamisées seront rapidement suivies d’une gigantesque liste de choses à faire. Son administration est confrontée à de multiples crises dès le premier jour, notamment le projet de vaccination national Covid, une reprise économique précaire et le procès imminent de destitution de Trump au Sénat.
Dans le même temps, Biden devra cajoler le Sénat pour qu’il confirme rapidement les nominations de son cabinet, lui permettant de former un gouvernement et de ramener la stabilité dans le pays. La nouvelle attachée de presse de la Maison Blanche, Jen Psaki, a déclaré vendredi aux journalistes que le Sénat était pleinement capable de jongler entre le procès de destitution et les confirmations urgentes.
«Le Sénat peut faire son devoir constitutionnel tout en continuant à diriger les affaires du peuple», a-t-elle déclaré. «Nous attendons, espérons et croyons que nous devons marcher et mâcher de la gomme en même temps.»
Additional Correspondents of RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA have been transferred to the USA ahead of the forthcoming swearing-in of the latest president of the country. There have been many speculations as to what awaits the American people on this day of the presidential inauguration. There have been also been fears and counter fear as the day approaches. But contrary to the expectations of many in the United States, the official Correspondent of RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, based in Washington Dc has been feeding us with heartwarming information. He has lately affirmed that by the time Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th US president Wednesday, his predecessor Donald Trump will already be far away, having helicoptered out of the White House the last time earlier that morning, an official said revealed to him. Trump will be the first president in a century and a half to snub the inauguration of his successor if he does not change his mind.
An official who asked not to be identified said Trump would go to his Mar-a-Lago golf club in Florida, which is his legal residence and will become home after the White House. He is expected to be out of town well before Biden is sworn in on the steps of the Capitol building at exactly noon.
After spending more than two months trying to overturn the results of the November election, pushing false conspiracy theories about fraud, Trump’s presence had not been expected at the inauguration.
The final straw came on January 6 when Trump gathered a huge crowd of supporters on the National Mall and once more claimed that they had to fight to stop a fraudulent election. A mob then stormed Congress, halting proceedings underway to certify Biden’s win.
For longer than anyone can remember, outgoing presidents have stood by their replacement on the Capitol steps, watching them take the oath — and in so doing showing visible support for the peaceful transfer of power.
Trump, who was impeached for a record second time in the wake of the Congress storming, has also broken with more discreet protocol by refusing to invite Biden and his wife Jill Biden to the White House for a traditional cup of tea in the Oval Office. On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence did make the gesture of telephoning his incoming counterpart Kamala Harris, a source said.
Although this came only five days before inauguration day — and more than two months after the election — The New York Times said Pence offered his congratulations and belated assistance to Harris, describing the exchange as “gracious and pleasant.” Recriminations over the January 6 attack continued to reverberate on Friday, however, when Trump’s health secretary criticized “the actions and rhetoric following the election.”
In a letter confirming he would step down when Biden takes office on January 20, made available to RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, Alex Azar called the violence “an assault on our democracy and on the tradition of peaceful transitions of power,” urging Trump to condemn all violence and help ensure a smooth handover to Biden. Trump’s extraordinary exit adds to the nervous atmosphere around an inauguration that was already set to be like no other.
In the wake of the Congress attack, thousands of National Guard troops have taken up positions around central Washington. And even before the security nightmare, organizers had been forced by Covid-19 safety measures to nix the traditional big crowds and long guest lists. For Biden, the subdued ceremonies will quickly be followed by a mammoth To-Do list. His administration faces multiple crises on day one, including the stumbling national Covid vaccination project, a precarious economic recovery, and Trump’s looming impeachment trial in the Senate.
At the same time, Biden will have to cajole the Senate into rapidly confirming his cabinet appointees, allowing him to form a government and bring stability back to the country. Incoming White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday that the Senate is fully capable of juggling the impeachment trial along with the urgent confirmations.
“The Senate can do its constitutional duty while continuing to conduct the business of the people,” she said. “Our expectation and hope and belief is that we need to walk and chew gum at the same time.”
