Result of the US elections: Trump and Biden are locked in a tight race for the White House.
New Delhi / Washington:
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, affirmed early Wednesday that he had won the American elections and, accusing the Democrats of his rival Joe Biden of “fraud”, declared that he would go to the Supreme Court to dispute the vote count. “We were about to win, in fact, we already won,” Trump said in a special speech from the White House at 2.30 am.
“We were winning in many other states and we were about to declare it and then all of a sudden this fraud happened there. A fraud against the American people. And we will not let this happen,” said President Trump, stating that he would go to court and ” we want the voting to stop. ” It seemed to mean stopping the counting of mail-in ballots, which can be legally accepted by state boards of elections after Tuesday’s election, provided they are mailed on time.
“So, we’re going to go to the US Supreme Court and make sure that suddenly no new ballots are mysteriously found at 4am and added to your tally. Frankly, this is an embarrassment to the United States and to the millions of Americans, “he said. , speaking from the East Room of the White House with Vice President Mike Pence and First Lady Melania Trump at his side.
The president said Republicans were about to celebrate a “beautiful” victory when “suddenly something happened.”
“But we are not going to let them get away with it. We were about to celebrate something so beautiful. The results have been phenomenal … we are surely going to win. We are way ahead in the states where the numbers keep coming in. Never. they will never catch up with us, “he said.
He added that Republicans were winning in almost every state where it was counted and that would be a huge margin too. “We don’t even need all of them, but we keep winning.”
Election results for some battle states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia, are still unclear and projections from major networks show that the 74-year-old Trump has yet to reach the 270 electoral votes needed to win reelection. Trump won the key states of Florida, Ohio and Texas, erasing Biden’s hopes of a decisive early victory. Biden won Arizona, Virginia and New Hampshire, among others.
The 77-year-old Biden was looking at the states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that sent Trump to the White House in 2016 for possible breakthroughs.
Earlier, the Democratic presidential candidate claimed he is on track to win the election and warned supporters that it would take time to finish counting the votes. “Keep the faith guys. We’re going to win this (election),” Biden told a crowd in his hometown of Delaware.
