U.S. President Donald Trump has once again insisted that the country’s president-elect, Joe Biden, not only ended up defeated in the Nov. 3 election but also won none of the six states in most important disputes of the elections, although the courts have rejected for weeks their demands to revoke the results.
“(Biden) did not win the election. He lost all six hinge states and by far,” Trump said Saturday on his Twitter account, referring to disputes in Georgia, Michigan or Pennsylvania.
Trump then reiterated that (Democrats) “poured hundreds of thousands of votes into each, and caught them,” in a statement about which he has yet to offer sustainable evidence in court.
“Now, Republicans must fight for no one to rob them of their great victory. Don’t be silly idiots!” The president concluded.
So far, Trump’s claims to shift his defeat to the presidency through the courts have failed to move forward, after several weeks with the president and his supporters spreading alleged conspiracy theories that would seek his way out of the White House.
However, the only thing that is certain is that this Monday, the U.S. Electoral College confirmed the victory of President-elect Joe Biden, who on November 3 won 306 electoral votes against Trump’s 232. , who also lost the popular vote by more than seven million.
Within the Republican Party itself there are already several voices advising Trump to turn the page and acknowledge his defeat. That’s the case for Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, who considered this weekend during an interview for NBC that the current U.S. president had no right “to go to court with misleading lawsuits and without tests “.
“The election process will end on Monday if voters vote for Joe Biden, and I hope they do,” said Alexander, who pointed to the Republican administration’s handling of the pandemic and the “behavior” of Trump as the main cause of his defeat.
