Trump’s side has focused on issues like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Arizona, where Trump won the 2016 presidential election and then Biden won this time. However, one of them, Georgia, officially confirmed the result of the recount that Biden outpointed Trump by a difference of 12,000 votes (0.25 percentage points) after a manual recount on the 20th. In response, Trump’s legal team requested an additional count in Georgia.
Previously, state officials manually counted around 5 million total votes on the 13th to clear up the controversy after Biden’s slight victory in the initial count. Georgia may request a recount if the gap under state law is less than 0.5 percentage points.
In Pennsylvania, on the 21st, the federal district court dismissed Trump’s lawsuit asking to block certification as a result of the vote count, saying: “We did not provide evidence that corruption prevailed.” All counties in Pennsylvania must certify the results of the count by the 23rd.
CNN said: “With this decision, it is at least the 30th time Trump Camp has been dismissed or removed from an election-related lawsuit after Election Day. Trump’s side won two electoral complaints, but it is a region with few votes. This is a total of ‘2 wins and 30 losses’.
The situation in Michigan is similar, when the Election Observer Committee is scheduled to hold a meeting to certify the counts on the 23rd. Trump invited Republican officials from the state of Michigan to the White House to meet in person. It was interpreted as an attempt to delay the verification of the count. However, after the meeting, the Senate representative and the Speaker of the House of Representatives who attended here made a statement saying: “At this time, there is no information to reverse the results of the elections” and “will not intervene in the Michigan Election Process “. Trump said he would appeal in Pennsylvania and filed another election lawsuit in Michigan, but American experts believe the court is unlikely to accept it.
In the United States, each state requires the governor, secretary of state, and committee of election observers to certify to formalize the results of the poll. The fifty governors and the mayor of Washington, DC, send the certified results of the counting and the electoral rolls to the Congress of the United States before December 8, and on December 14 the electoral body will meet again to vote formally for the president. . Trump and the Republican Party have been trying to delay this process by defending the refusal to vote and count. If the results of the weekly count are not verified before December 8, the electoral body vote is lost and the right to elect the president is transferred to Congress. The odds are slim, but if this happens, he believes Trump can re-elect.
In the midst of this, reports have emerged that Trump is not accepting the election results on the surface, but is coming to terms with the reality of having to withdraw personally and is discussing running for president in 2024. The Washington Post interviewed several of the Trump’s aides and staff on the same day and reported that “(Trump) told his staff that he probably wanted to challenge again and remain a force that always appears in politics and the media. Trump had told his aides that he could immediately prepare for a rematch with the Biden elect by announcing his bid for the 2024 presidential election near the end of this year.
Trump is also exploring ways to make money by hosting company conferences and giving speeches or selling campaign tickets, the newspaper said. The Washington Post said: “Given personal debt and legal issues, Trump will feel pressure to earn money after retirement.”
