According to the US media, Joe Biden can no longer win the presidential election. Current President Donald Trump does not want to acknowledge this and has announced trials. What’s next now?
Democratic challenger Joe Biden is the winner of the 2020 US elections. Here’s what the results say in individual states, according to various US media. But incumbent Donald Trump doesn’t want to admit defeat. He wants to take legal action against the result of the elections. Can the tug of war go on forever? Or are there specific deadlines? An overview:
Ratification of election results
The counties, as the state counties are called, have to ratify the election results within a specified time. This occurs between one and four weeks after Election Day. Election officials in the states then confirm the results. The duration of these processes differs from one state to another; there is no deadline for each one. The result of the election can also be challenged, for example by requesting a recount. Again, the regulations in the states are different.

By this day, potential legal disputes in individual states over the election result must be resolved so that the United States Congress cannot reject the result. This rule, enshrined in federal law, is called “safe harbor.”
