BOSTON — A fired-up Gov. Charlie Baker slammed President Donald Trump for not committing to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose November’s election. Baker was asked at his news conference on Thursday to respond to Trump’s comments.
“It is appalling and outrageous that anyone suggest for a minute, that if they lose an election they’re not going to leave,” Baker said. “That peaceful transfer of power is what the people in this country rely on when they go to vote.”
Trump told a reporter on Wednesday “we’re going to have to see what happens” when asked if he would commit to a peaceful transition in case he loses. He added that he doesn’t believe he will lose.
