Trump: Formally Concede 2020 US Presidential Election

Target: Donald Trump, President of the United States

Goal: Formally concede the 2020 Presidential Election.

President Donald Trump’s refusal to concede the 2020 US Presidential Election and acknowledge former Vice President Joseph Biden as President-Elect is a threat to democracy and potential danger. The Electoral College officially named Biden the winner of the 2020 election and all 50 states have certified their election results. The Trump campaign filed multiple lawsuits and even attempted to have electors removed in crucial battleground states. All of these attempts to change the outcome of the election have been rejected by the Supreme Court.

Trump maintains that the election was insecure and refuses to concede or acknowledge Biden as President-Elect. His failure to do so has resulted in civil unrest and, in extreme cases, violence. At rallies held in Washington DC in support of Trump, people were stabbed and shot. Additionally, high-ranking politicians have condoned violence as a means of supporting Trump. University College London professor Brian Klaas said, “All the red flags that you see in other countries that have political violence are being raised in the United States right now, and you are getting extremely incendiary rhetoric from the president himself.”

Sign this petition to urge President Trump to formally concede and acknowledge the results of the 2020 US Presidential Election.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear President Trump,

Four people were stabbed and one person was shot at a rally in support of your presidency. This violence is happening simply because the 2020 US Presidential Election is being framed as one that was illegal or rigged. You are directly contributing to this rhetoric, and thus the violence, by failing to formally concede or acknowledge the results of the election.

Every state in the union has certified its election results. Additionally, the Electoral College has officially named Joseph Biden the winner of the election and the President-Elect. The Supreme Court has thrown out all of your lawsuits and attempts to change the results of the election.

I urge you to formally concede and acknowledge Biden as President-Elect to help prevent future violence and civil unrest.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
