Donald Trump’s legal fight to change the results of the US elections ended in complete failure, writes the French daily Le Monde.
His failure will be final tomorrow. Under US law, the election of the members of the Electoral College, who will appoint the next president of the United States on December 14, can no longer be contested after December 8.
That odyssey began six months earlier, on May 1, when Trump posted a controversial article on Twitter questioning the security of voting by mail. He called for the elections to be rigged and repeated the accusation more than 600 times before the November 3 elections.
Nothing new: he had already condemned the “false elections” of 2016 before winning them, recalls the French edition. He then set up a commission to search for hundreds of thousands of votes that he said were cast by illegal immigrants, but found no evidence.
Trump’s refusal to admit defeat is paving the way for his bid for president in 2024, writes the British newspaper “Telegraph.”
The president of the United States has said that if he had lost the elections, he would have accepted them with dignity, but he did not admit defeat. In reality, however, his attempts to win in court were unsuccessful. His only victory was among his followers.
