The president of the United States continues to refuse to admit defeat on Fox News. Instead, he continues to spread the myth of electoral fraud.

You would have cheated. Joe Biden never got 80 million votes. Almost four weeks after the presidential election, frustration can still be heard in the voice of still President of the United States, Donald Trump. He gave Fox News his first phone interview after Sunday’s election, and was allowed to get all of his anger off his chest. Almost an hour.
The election was a total fraud and the media did not want to talk about it, Trump complained incessantly. Although more and more American courts are dismissing his lawsuits and there is no evidence of electoral irregularities, Trump is persistent. Last week, he had promised to leave the White House if the electoral council elects Joe Biden as president in December. But admit electoral defeat? No way!
Difficult path to the Supreme Court
“I will not change my mind for the next six months,” Trump said defiantly. The 74-year-old hinted at the same time that it would probably be very difficult to bring his claims to the Supreme Court. But he’s still not losing hope. To do that, you need a judge to hear the case. You need a Supreme Court willing to make a really big decision, Trump said.
His prosecuting attorney, Kenneth Starr, was behind the president. Even if the road to victory is likely to be difficult, Starr said on Fox News: “II understand the president’s frustration. There are so many anecdotes about scams. But the difficulty now is translating these assumptions and accusations into admissible evidence in court. “
Will Trump make the handover?
Recently, more and more Republicans have recognized Joe Biden’s electoral victory. However, there are still quite a few party members who do not want to stab their president in the back. Roy Blunt, a conservative senator from Missouri, would neither confirm nor deny that Trump lost the election on “CNN.”
“After all, we are already moving towards what will happen on January 20. The transitional allocation is at least available,” the senator said. One of Blunt’s tasks is to organize Joe Biden’s swearing-in ceremony on January 20.
He expected the outgoing president to attend the ceremony on the handover day, Blunt added. The big question mark remains whether Trump will walk away.
