And on Friday he got no answer on who will be the president of the United States, while Joe Biden retained and gradually increased his leadership in 4 of the 5 disputed states, and the team of Donald Trump and the Republicans raised tens of millions of dollars. and elite lawyers to challenge them in court. counting and results in many places.
But even the president’s supporters admit that many of his allegations of manipulation and falsification are lies, pointing out that he must block the announcement of results in at least three states, and even then it is debatable whether he will be able to get the votes he needs to win. in the Electoral College or that this tactic will provide you with at most exactly half the voters, initiating a complex new legal procedure to determine who will enter the White House.
After all, even if in theory this could give him a second term, he risks seriously compromising the democratic instrument of the election – not the voters, but the lawyers, judges and parliamentarians in deciding who will rule the country.
The count goes on and no one knows when it will end, and the final result can be announced in weeks.
According to Washington Post sources, over the past two days, Trump’s advisers have begun talking to him about the possibility of an electoral defeat and giving him ideas on how to react to such an outcome. The discussion revolved around accepting the loss, but not officially acknowledging it, but only declaring that the transfer of power would be carried out peacefully. Most likely, the president will keep repeating that his victory has been stolen.

For now, Trump calls for “full transparency in the counting of all the votes and the legalization of the result.” “I will never stop fighting for you and our nation,” he said last night in a statement issued by his headquarters.
According to three Reuters sources, Republicans are trying to raise at least $ 60 million to appeal the election results. This number is indicated by a donor from the party being approached by the campaign and the party leadership. The other two sources say the goal is for the special fund to be much larger: $ 100 million. Democrats also announced the Biden Battle Fund.
But both the agency and the mainstream US media say that Trump and the Republican Party’s strategy for lawsuits and lawsuits is quite chaotic, disorganized and more akin to public relations to distract and buy time, all “no.” does a great service to the president. ”Reuters quoted a Republican adviser as saying Trump’s staff were surprised by the results and unprepared for a court battle.
David Bossi, a senior campaign adviser, a well-known conservative activist and very loyal to Trump, is involved in his leadership, but he is not a lawyer. In Georgia and Nevada, two of the states where the fierce battle is being fought, it failed, but won in Pennsylvania by a court order to temporarily separate part of the envelopes with previously issued ballots (although the authorities there had already done so).

Trump supporters protest in Nevada.
On Friday night, Trump wrote on Twitter that she had a “huge advantage” in the states where she still counts, and that she disappeared “somehow miraculously” in the days after the November 3 election. “This advantage will likely return with the advancement of our legal actions,” he added.
On Saturday, Biden continued to lead in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Nevada with more than 20,000 votes and more than 7,200 in Georgia. The difference is very small as a percentage of the vote and there are still hundreds of thousands of ballots to count, which is why almost all major American media refrain from declaring the Democratic winner in any of these states. There is no doubt that North Carolina and Alaska are going to go to Trump. But if this picture is maintained, he will have 232 voters, well below the threshold of 270 to win, and Biden, 306.
A Republican member quoted by the Washington Post said that “the calculations are as they are, you look at what the repeal of these results will bring us and you see that we are very far from winning.” “This race is over and the only one who doesn’t see it is Donald Trump,” said a Republican spokesman.
In a statement in recent hours, the Democrat said: “The data shows us a clear and compelling story: we will win this race.”
