Tester Statement on President Trump’s Refusal to Commit to a Peaceful Transition of Power

U.S. Senator Jon Tester released the following statement on President Trump’s refusal to commit to a peaceful transition of power if he loses the election:

“President Trump’s horrifying refusal to commit to a peaceful transition of power if he loses the election are comments that have no place in a democracy. My Republican colleagues need to join me in strongly denouncing the President’s statement and pledging to ensure a peaceful transition—all three branches of government must be united in protecting our democratic institutions.”
