The President of the United States claims electoral victory for himself without providing any proof. He wants to turn against the Supreme Court.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has claimed a victory in the presidential elections and wants the Supreme Court of the country to stop another vote recount. “We won this election,” Trump said Wednesday night (local time) at the White House, although the election result in several major states is still open.

“To be honest, we won,” he told White House supporters, although final results were not available from many major states. According to Edison Research, there are currently 213 voters for Trump and 220 for Joe Biden. At least 270 are required for an electoral victory.
Speaking of alleged “fraud against the nation” and “the American people” in the elections, the headline added: “We are going to the Supreme Court. We want all voting to end.” Presumably, Trump was referring to the ongoing counting of numerous votes by mail.
In some states, including particularly competitive Pennsylvania, Election Day postmarked postal votes are accepted even if they are received by authorities a few days after the election. In recent months, Trump has repeatedly denounced suspected vote-by-mail fraud, although experts and officials disagree.
In many states, hundreds of thousands of potentially decisive votes had yet to be counted at the time of Trump’s speech. Due to the corona pandemic, a particularly large number of citizens turned to vote by mail this year, but mostly sympathizers of Trump’s Democratic Party challenger Joe Biden.
Biden’s team: “Scandalous”
Biden’s team has dismissed the headline’s remarks as “scandalous” and “unprecedented.” However, the democratic challenger’s legal experts are equipped for a judicial dispute, the election campaign team said Wednesday morning.
