Re “As transition delay ensues, virus worsens” (Page A1, Nov. 10): We need no more proof that today’s Republican Party has morphed into the party of Trump, putting self-interest ahead of the country. There is no justification for delaying the handoff of power, including crucial security information, other than appeasing the president and his followers. Donald Trump’s sycophants in the halls of Congress are willing to sacrifice the safety of this nation and its people on the altar of Trumpism rather than upholding American democracy. Isn’t that a textbook definition of treason?

Note from KBJ: Handoff of power? We don't know who won the election yet, Edwin. Are you watching CNN again?
