Donald Trump will face a devastating blow to his desperate attempt to overturn the results of the US presidential election on Monday, when 538 members of the Electoral College will cast their ballots and formally send Joe Biden to the White House.
Under the arrogant formula followed by the United States since the election since 1789, Monday’s election college referendum will mark the official moment that Biden awaits as the 46th president. Voters, including political figures such as Bill and Hillary Clinton, will gather in state capitals across the country to confirm the outcome of this important race.
In general, the process is symbolic and not specified. This year, it will have real political significance when it shows Trump leaning on the windmills in an attempt to deny the will of the American people.
Trump continued those bizarre efforts over the weekend, provoking political unrest in several cities, including the country’s capital. Sunday morning he Tweeted It was “the most corrupt election in American history!”
In an interview with Fox & Friends aired Sunday, he stressed that his anti-democratic work was not over. “We are going forward, we are going to continue to move forward,” he said, before repeating many lies about election fraud.
Trump’s lies about winning major states, including Pennsylvania and Georgia, were not completely challenged by Fox News interviewer Brian Gilmid.
Any hope that Trump might still be in power was shattered Friday when the U.S. Supreme Court bluntly dismissed the Texas-led case, preventing Biden from winning in the other four states. In another case, a Wisconsin Supreme Court judge ruled that Trump’s case was “racist”, with the goal of canceling the votes of 200,000 Americans.
Despite the definite denial that Trump has experienced in dozens of cases, including the country’s Supreme Court, his unprecedented maneuver to tear down democratic norms is having long-term consequences for the country with unspoken damage. The Texas-led drive to overturn the election result was backed by 126 Republicans in the House of Representatives – nearly two-thirds of the party’s convention – as well as the Republican state attorney general from 18 states.
Among the broader electorate, 77% of Republicans believe widespread voter fraud in the November 3 election – a misnomer – in a recent Guinness University poll.
Another manifestation of the harm being done was the violence that erupted in several cities on Saturday night. In Washington D.C., four people were stabbed and in need of hospital treatment, and 23 others were arrested after clashes broke out with right-wing groups following calls for “Stop protest. Enthusiastically agreed Presented by Trump.
Far-right militant groups have joined forces with Trump supporters in violence, including the white nationalist Pride Boys, who call themselves “Western chauvinists.” Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser who apologized to Trump for lying to the FBI, told a crowd, “We are deciding the election. We are waging a war across America. “
Violence also erupted in Olympia, the state capital of Washington. One person was shot dead in clashes between several armed factions, Trump supporters and the Pride Boys confronted protesters, and three others were arrested.
Video footage It appeared to have been shot by a member of the Pride Boy and the victim appeared to be a protester, although the details were definite.
In Georgia, a separate militant group, the Georgia Defense Force III%, attended an extreme right-wing rally at a government house on Saturday. The armed group has helped organize the latest merchants to intimidate local election officials into their homes, falsely claiming that Biden’s victory in Georgia was a fraud.
Biden’s alternative group is increasing the number of violent incidents surrounding Trump’s bad claims about the election. Louisiana Democrat Rep. Cedric Richmond, who tapped Biden as incoming director of the White House office for public engagement, said they were concerned about what was happening over the holidays.
“We are concerned about the violence,” he told Face the Nation in a CBS news release. “Where there is violence it is not protest, it violates the law, so we care about that.”
Asked about the majority of House Republicans who supported Trump’s trivial case to prevent the election results from being certified, Richmond said their opposition was more dramatic than real. “They recognize Joe Biden’s victory. It’s just a small part of the Republican convention that convinces the president on the way out because they are afraid of his Twitter feed.
The outward appearance of Trump’s stubborn refusal was underlined in an interview with Al Gore’s CNN State of the Union on Sunday. Exactly 20 years ago to this day, he acknowledged the 2000 presidential race in which he fought hard against George W. Bush: “This is America, we put the country in front of the party – we will stand together behind our new president.”
Core told CNN that he hopes Monday’s election college votes will begin to heal. He called the case dismissed by the Supreme Court “absurd and incomprehensible,” and slandered Republicans who continued to join Trump on his “lost cause.”
“With election college votes in all 50 states tomorrow, I hope some of those executed will drop the ghost,” Gore said. “There are more important things than bowing to the fear of a mouthful.”
