Elections in the United States: Donald Trump also thanked his wife Melania Trump and her family for the “victory”
New Delhi:
In the astonishing “victory” speech of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, at 2.30 am, his family joined him at the White House. Calling the election “a fraud on the American people” by his Democratic rivals, President Trump declared that he would go to the Supreme Court to dispute the vote count.
When the 74-year-old falsely declared victory despite millions of votes still uncounted, his family cheered him on.
Donald Trump’s wife Melania Trump, sons Eric and Donald Jr, daughters Ivanka and Tiffany were all smiling when the president made the surprising announcement.

Donald Trump had also thanked his wife, his family, and his Vice President Mike Pence and his wife for their support amid loud cheers from an optimistic crowd in the ceremonial East Room of the White House.
“We won this election,” Trump told supporters who cheered him on when he said Republicans won in states they did not expect to win.

The businessman also said that he would go to the Supreme Court because “we want the voting to stop.”
His opponent Joe Biden’s campaign soon fought back, calling the president’s attempt to stop counting votes “outrageous” and “unprecedented,” and saying his legal teams were ready to fight him in court if necessary.

“The counting will not stop. It will continue until every duly cast vote is counted,” Biden’s campaign said.
The race for the White House is close, as Joe Biden leads 220-213 over Donald Trump in the fight for 270 votes in the Electoral College.
