The presidency of the United States is within reach of the challenger Biden: he has taken the lead in the state of Georgia, where almost all the votes have been counted. The current Trump defends himself with savage insults.
Democratic challenger Biden can now unite 253 voters; He still has exactly 17 to go before moving into the White House. The 77-year-old has apparently gotten a little closer to this goal. He assumed leadership of the key state of Georgia, which is actually a Republican stronghold.
A hit in Georgia would bring Biden 16 more voters, so one of the four key open states would be enough for him to win. In Georgia almost all votes are counted, today a decision could be made.
Trump’s chances are diminishing
President Trump’s chances of a second term are dwindling as the recount continues; their reactions are correspondingly harsh. At a press conference at the White House, he again claimed victory for himself, and again tried to cast doubt on the electoral process with allegations of fraud, but without citing any evidence for his claims. Later, several US television networks canceled their live broadcasts from the White House and subjected Trump’s claims to a fact check.
Additionally, Trump made it clear that he does not want to resign without a fight. He announced again that he would fight defeat with a series of lawsuits up to the Supreme Court. “There will be many trials. We cannot allow an election to be stolen in this way,” the president said. Lawsuits have been filed in several states, but have been dismissed in several.
Twitter provides posts with warnings
The president also continued his accusations of fraud on Twitter. He claimed to have easily won the elections with votes cast “legally”. Twitter immediately warned the tweet that the post could contain misleading information.
Republicans oppose fraud accusations
This time, criticism of Trump’s approach also comes from his own party. Several prominent Republicans opposed the president, some openly. “There is no justification for the president’s comments tonight that are undermining our democratic process,” Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan wrote on Twitter.
Congressman Adam Kinzinger tweeted: “Stop spreading exposed misinformation … This is getting crazy.”
No evidence of voter fraud
In contrast, the influential chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Lindsey Graham, donated $ 500,000 to Trump’s legal fund. There is no concrete evidence of massive electoral fraud. Election observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) concluded that they had “found no evidence of systemic problems.”
Meanwhile, the mood among supporters and opponents of the president continues to heat up. Many Trump supporters accepted the accusations of fraud and accused the democratic field and the media of fraud. The Secret Service hired additional workers to protect Biden, according to a Washington Post report.
