Democrat Joe Biden’s campaign is warning American voters that, under no circumstances, should they accept an advance declaration of victory from Donald Trump on Tuesday night, shortly after the end of the US presidential election. United.
“The president will not steal this election,” Biden said, after leaving a campaign event in Philadelphia and being questioned by journalists Sunday night (1st).

On Sunday, according to the Axios website, Trump had told people close to him that he could declare himself the winner if the initial numbers showed a large Republican advantage at the start of the poll, although it is already known that the result will only be known until the early hours of the Wednesday.
The president’s plan, the website added, would be to challenge the votes that came through the post office in court and could deliver the result to Biden.
A key state for this would be Pennsylvania, where Trump may have a head start due to face-to-face votes, but that can be reversed by counting a large percentage of votes in the mail, in favor of Biden.
This may be because a Supreme Court decision allows, in some states, votes sent by mail to be counted even if they are received three days after November 3, as long as they were sent before that deadline.

On Sunday, Trump denied that he would declare a premature victory, but said: “I think it’s a terrible thing when you can collect the ballots after an election. A terrible thing when states are allowed to tabulate ballots long after the end of the elections. “He also said that” the elections should close on the 3rd. ”
Then he made the threat clear: “I think it is terrible that we cannot know the results of an election on election night … we will go at night, as soon as the elections are over, we will enter with our lawyers.
