"Every day that an orderly presidential transition process is delayed, our democracy grows weaker in the eyes of our own citizens and the nation's stature on the global stage is diminished," the letter reportedly says. "Withholding resources and vital information from an incoming administration puts the public and economic health and security of America at risk."
The group of executives who signed the letter includes the leaders of real estate firm Tishman Steyer, and the president of private equity firm the Blackstone Group. It demands that the head of the General Services Administration, Emily W. Murphy, affirm President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and release funds to begin the transition, according to the Times.
Among the executives who signed the letter are major Republican donors, some of whom have discussed withholding funds for Republican candidates for US Senate in the Georgia runoffs this coming January until Trump concedes. According to the report, the group was organized by New York State Attorney General Letitia James following an initial call organized by business leaders. Some business leaders, including prominent Trump supporter and Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, have thus far defended the sitting president. Schwarzman's position, however, has changed: "The outcome is very certain today and the country should move on," he told the Times in a statement.
President Trump has refused to concede the election, and his legal team continues to pursue cases in several states. Trump and his lawyers have repeatedly claimed widespread voter fraud, but have yet to provide any evidence of such claims.
