[Washington = Wataru Shiraishi]US President Trump has not admitted defeat in the presidential election and is ready to continue the legal battle. However, the election results are unlikely to be overturned even if they are recounted because the vote gap in the fierce state of battle is widening without showing evidence of fraud. Even within the Republican Party, the movement to walk away from Trump is spreading and the shadow of centripetal force cannot be hidden.

◆ Do not appear in public

“There are many statements that fraudulent votes have been made.” Trump repeated the tweets on the 8th, but did not show any concrete evidence to support the systematic fraud. He played golf for two days in a row, but did not appear in public on the 8th.

Initially, the Trump camp envisioned a strategy to bring the fierce state of battle closer, indict the fraudulent postal vote, and reverse the recount and litigation. However, the leadership of former Vice President Byden of the Japan Democratic Party is spreading in the fierce state of battle, and the premise is crumbling.

◆ In Pennsylvania, the difference is over 40,000 votes.

In eastern Pennsylvania, which cannot be abandoned due to re-election, Byden’s lead exceeded 40,000 votes. According to AP News, 31 states have been counted since 2000, but only 3 of them have changed their election results. Also, the difference in votes obtained before the recount is said to be less than 300 votes in each state, and the bad color of the flag cannot be hidden.

Still, Trump’s adviser Giuliani, who is in charge of the lawsuit, said: “There is strong evidence that elections have been stolen in up to 10 states” and is also set to file lawsuits this week. But lawsuits already filed in the five fiercely battling states have for the most part been dismissed, with only election witnesses closely monitoring the voting process.

◆ “New President Byden” within the Republican Party

For this reason, there is a growing movement within the Republican Party to keep the distance from “no evidence of fraud, we cannot blindly support it” (former New Jersey Governor Christie). Former President Bush issued a statement on the 8th congratulating Byden’s victory, and the “new Byden president” is becoming an established fact.

On the 8th, CNN TV reported that Ms. Melania told Mr. Trump that “it was time to accept defeat.” A camp executive denied on Twitter that “reporting is not true.” “All legal votes must be counted except illegal ones,” he posted on Twitter after the press.

Many believe that it is extremely unlikely that the election results will be overturned, but Trump still clings to the trial “to calm his wounded ego and show his loyal supporters his fighting attitude” (AP). ) Is also analyzed.
