On Friday night, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden called on Americans to come together to overcome anger as he heads to win the White House race.
Biden stressed in a short speech that “the time has come for us to come together,” adding anger must be overcome and he vowed to address the Corona pandemic from his first day in the White House.
Biden said: “Dear Americans, we do not have a final declaration of victory yet, but the figures present a clear and convincing picture: we will win this election,” expressing as the day before his confidence in the results of the ballot count.
Biden indicated that he would win the US presidency as his lead over President Donald Trump increased in crucial states, despite the reluctance of television networks to declare him the winner with continued vote counting.
“The numbers tell us. It’s a clear and compelling story: We’re going to win this race,” Biden said, adding that he and Vice President Camille Harris had already met with experts as they prepared to enter the White House.
Originally, Biden was arranged to speak in his hometown of Delaware to celebrate the victory, but he changed his stance in the absence of an official announcement from television networks and other forecasters of the election results.
However, his speech was a severe challenge to Trump. President Trump remained out of sight at the White House on Friday, as Biden strengthened his progress in the four states that will determine the outcome, namely Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.
Biden, who is ahead of Trump, said the Americans have given him a mandate to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, the faltering economy, climate change and systemic racism.
Biden said: “They made it clear that they want the country to unite, not continue to disintegrate,” adding that he hopes to address Americans again on Saturday.
Trump remained defiant and vowed to continue the unsubstantiated allegations of fraud as Republicans sought $ 60 million to fund lawsuits that questioned the results.
But some in his field described this legal effort as disorganized and so far it has been unsuccessful in court.
The race is over
Trump showed no signs of a willingness to compromise, as his campaign filed a series of lawsuits that legal experts say would likely not alter the outcome of the election.
One Trump adviser described the campaign’s litigation strategy so far as chaotic and disorganized, while another Republican official said it was doubtful the lawsuits will lead to Trump’s victory.
“This race is over and the only person who doesn’t see it is Donald Trump,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Dance and protests
Biden supporters danced on the streets of Philadelphia, while armed Trump supporters in Phoenix and Detroit said the election was stolen without giving any evidence of wrongdoing. Trump supporters plan to hold dozens of demonstrations Saturday under the banner ” Stop the theft “.
Joe Biden should not unfairly claim the position of president. I could also make that claim. Legal proceedings are just beginning!

Trump had warned Biden not to announce his victory in the presidency.
The Republican candidate said, in a tweet on his Twitter account on Friday, “Joe Biden should not falsely claim the office of president … I can make this claim too … legal proceedings have only just begun.”
The President of the United States added in another tweet: “We can restore our progress in some states again with the legal process in the future.”
I had such a huge lead in all of these states until late on Election Night, only to see them miraculously disappear as the days passed. Perhaps these clues will return as our legal proceedings progress!

Biden advances
On the fourth day of the vote count, former Vice President Biden scored 253 to 214 for Trump in the electoral college that determines the winner, according to the Addison Research Center.
And getting 20 electoral votes in Pennsylvania would get Biden the 270 votes he needs to win the presidency after a political career that spanned nearly five decades.
If Biden wins in Pennsylvania, he will become the 46th president of the United States, regardless of the outcome in the rest of the states, and Biden will also win if he wins two of the other three major states.
As officials counted a flood of votes in the mail, Biden narrowly held onto Nevada and Arizona, defeating Trump in Pennsylvania and Georgia on Friday.
In Arizona, Biden advanced 29,861 with 97 percent of the vote counted, and in Nevada, he advanced 22,657 with 93 percent complete.
Republicans Call for Vote Counting to Stop in Pennsylvania
The Republican Party in Pennsylvania petitioned the Supreme Court on Friday to stop counting ballots that arrived late to the state, coinciding with Joe Biden leading the results and Donald Trump arriving late.
In its petition, the Republican Party requested the issuance of an urgent court decision to stop the delivery of thousands of ballots received by mail after Election Day and believed to be in favor of Biden.
The petition asks the court to order Pennsylvania election officials to disqualify ballots received after Tuesday and not count.
Republicans fought for months against the state’s decision to accept the sealed mail ballot on Nov.3 and arrive within three days of Election Day, which is Friday.
The Federal Supreme Court refused to accept the case on October 19, and the court did not have a member at the time, and there were eight justices who were evenly divided between conservatives and liberals.
But the U.S. Supreme Court said at the time it could accept the case after the election, and it currently has nine members after Trump appointed Conservative Justice Amy Cooney Barrett in late October.
The GOP petition did not provide any evidence that the relevant ballots are not currently being dismissed, but indicated that in the absence of interference from the Supreme Court, specialized state authorities could change the instructions given to the electoral boards in the 67 counties.
If the court accepts the case, it can annul the results of the counting of the ballots received after Election Day, but this may not change anything in the election results, as the number of documents in question may is less than Biden’s votes against Trump.
