Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin said Sunday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was wrong in saying Democratic nominee Joe Biden should not concede "Under any circumstances."
Durbin told ABC's "This Week" that he disagreed with Clinton's comments on "The Recount" last month that Biden should avoid conceding because the expected surge in mail-in voting will likely cause the election to "Drag out."
"Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances, because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually, I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is," Clinton said in an interview on Aug. 25.
Two senior Republicans in Congress have warned that problems with vote-by-mail arrangements coupled with Democrats' efforts "To change state election laws and procedures at the last minute" for what they say is partisan advantage could be setting the stage for "An unprecedented constitutional crisis" in the upcoming election.
A Sept. 23 report, titled "How Democrats are attempting to sow uncertainty, inaccuracy, and delay in the 2020 election" and prepared at the request of Rep. Jim Jordan, the senior Republican member on the Judiciary Committee, and Rep. James Comer, the senior Republican on the Oversight Committee, warns that eleventh-hour changes to state election laws and procedures have disrupted long-established procedures for in-person voting.
Election experts have said it might take several days after the Nov. 3 election to declare a winner as officials will need time to count mail ballots that arrive after election day.
Durbin, in the interview, said, "The election itself is going to be announced, the winner will be announced at some point. It will take longer with all the paper ballots that are being cast."
