Donald Trump spent weeks testing the American democracy but finally ran out of options and accepted the defeat. The federal government has now recognized Joe Biden as the ‘’apparent’’ winner of the November 3rd election.
Trump relented after suffering more legal procedural defeats in his seemingly futile effort to overturn the election with claims of fraud. Donald Trump still refused to concede and swore to continue fighting in court after General Services Administrator Emily Murphy allowed Biden to prepare for inauguration.
Series of events moving at a high speed let some air out of Trump’s frantic efforts to undermine the will of the people. The effort was termed as a stress test for American democracy.
However, Trump’s attempts to foment a crisis of confidence in the political system are far from over. They are likely to persist well beyond his presidency.
How Emily Murphy came to her conclusion;
As she explained her decision, Murphy cited ‘’recent developments involving legal challenges and certifications of election results.’’ She acted after Michigan on Monday, and certified Biden’s victory in the battleground state. And a federal judge tossed a Trump Campaign lawsuit on Saturday seeking to prevent certification in that state.
The concession came at a time when an increasing number of Republicans were publicly acknowledging Biden’s victory. They were at a breaking point due to tolerating Trump’s baseless claims of fraud for too long. The president had grown increasingly frustrated with the failing tactics of his legal team.
When she failed to begin the transition process sooner, Murphy begun to receive bipartisan criticism. This is because she was in the way of Biden’s team working with career agency officials on plans for his administration.
The delay denied Biden access to highly classified national security briefings and hindered his team’s ability to begin making plans. However, Murphy insisted she acted on her own.
‘’Please know that I came to my decision independently based on the law and available facts. I was never directly or indirectly pressured by any Executive Branch official – including those who work at the White House or GSA,’’ she wrote in a letter to Biden.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
