Still weird: Trump’s first official appearance in a week
In his first official appearance in a week, current US President Donald Trump again declared that he had won the election. But there would have been campaigns against him by the pharmaceutical industry.
US President Donald Trump wanted to invalidate millions of votes in the US state of Pennsylvania. It failed because a judge dismissed the lawsuit based on “speculative allegations.” Trump’s lawyers refuse to surrender.
reThe campaign team of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has appealed the firing in Pennsylvania. In a lawsuit Monday, Trump’s team asked the United States Court of Appeals to reverse a decision made by District Judge Matthew Brann. It must be ascertained whether Brann wrongly refused to change Trump’s lawsuit a second time.
On Saturday, the judge dismissed a motion by Trump’s team to expand the lawsuit again to include the argument that Pennsylvania’s vote was unconstitutional. Consequently, the election result must be discarded and the Pennsylvania state parliament, which is governed by Republicans, decides on the electorate. Trump and his Republican allies have also suffered defeat in other lawsuits in Michigan, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
Trump’s lawyers had only presented “worthless proven legal arguments and speculative allegations” without evidence, Judge Brann wrote in support of their decision. Trump’s lawsuit was also aimed at potentially invalidating millions of absentee votes. The arguments and evidence presented were not even sufficient to invalidate the vote of “a single voter,” the judge wrote. “Our people, our laws and institutions demand more,” he wrote.
Democrat Joe Biden prevailed in the important state, which has 20 voters to give away. According to US media forecasts, Biden now has 306 voters, significantly more than the majority of 270 votes needed to win. However, Trump refuses to admit defeat, claiming that massive electoral fraud occurred in the November 3 election. However, it has not provided strong evidence of this. For this reason, the judges have already dismissed several of their claims.
In the state of Georgia, Trump called for another vote recount in due time on Saturday. His lawyers said this was to ensure that all legal votes were counted. Trump had until Tuesday to request another recount. He was able to do this because the gap between the candidates is less than 0.5 percentage points.
Georgia had already reviewed the ballots herself. Then Biden’s lead over Trump was reduced from around 14,000 to 12,670 votes. Responsible Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Governor Brian Kemp had confirmed the results on Friday afternoon. Biden won the votes of all 16 state electors.
Trump’s legal team explained the recount request by insisting on an “honest vote count,” which must include signature comparisons and other important safeguards. “Let’s stop giving people bad results. There has to be a time when we stop counting illegal votes. I hope he comes soon ”, he said. Biden won Georgia as the first Democrat after Bill Clinton in 1992.
Trump also had bad luck with another strategy: Republican deputies and senators from the state of Michigan invited by him to the White House spoke out against attempts to alter the election results with legal tricks after the meeting. Republicans said Friday they had no information that could change the outcome of the election. Therefore, “they would follow the law and normal process” in naming the electorate, said Senate and House Majority Leaders Mike Shirkey and Lee Chatfield. “And the candidates who get the most votes win the elections and the votes of the electorate,” they said.
Biden won the Michigan election by a wide margin. Trump’s unusual meeting with Republicans had fueled fears that he would pressure them to change the outcome of the normally more formal steps of notarization. However, the US media cited lawyers who emphasized that such a measure would never have been presented in court, even with the consent of local Republicans.
