Trump Prepares For Survival Strategy And Legal Battle The Day After Presidential Election
Arizona-Nevada’s Last Hope
“Georgia, ‘White House’ or ‘Outside the House’ Crossroads”
Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania simultaneously filed suit to suspend the count
On the fourth day (local time), the day after the United States presidential election, Trump electoral field officials, White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner, and Chief Executive Officer Mark Meadows met at the headquarters of the field in Virginia, near Washington, to prepare a future response direction and litigation strategy, NBC News reported. Saying.
Trump is paying attention first to the counting situation in Arizona and Nevada. If Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden wins in Arizona and Nevada, the election will end with a majority of the presidential electoral squad, securing 270 people. You won’t even need to see the results for the three competing states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina.
CNN said: “It may be just a wish, but I think President Trump can point to a radical change if he can get Arizona back.”
Although Fox News and the Associated Press have already announced that Biden won Arizona, CNN and the New York Times (NYT) have not “assigned” the electoral body to Biden, still classifying Arizona as a contested area.
President Trump is said to have been angry when Fox News first announced that Biden took over Arizona the day before at 11 p.m. It is no stranger to this that he held an emergency conference in the East Room of the White House at 2 am that day and claimed that “we have indeed won.”
Fox News announced Biden’s victory, calling it a figure that President Trump cannot continue given the remaining votes and propensity to support. A few hours later, at 2 am, the Associated Press assigned Arizona to Biden for the same reason.
However, CNN has reserved the assignment, saying it will announce the results after further confirming the results of the count. In Arizona, with 88% of the votes counted through the fourth, Biden is ahead of Trump by 2.8 percentage points. On Nevada’s 75% tally, Biden has a 0.6 percentage point lead.
Trump’s side is also making sense of Georgia. CNN quoted President Trump’s aide: “It’s not just a shock if we lose Georgia, and Trump is done. Biden becomes president.” Said.
In Georgia, Trump is 0.4 percentage point ahead of Biden at the 98% count. The electoral authorities of Arizona and Georgia have announced that they will announce new results today.
That day, President Trump spoke with the Republican governor without appearing in public to discuss ways to resolve the situation. At the same time, the opinion of vote manipulation was raised through Twitter as ‘the vote that took me suddenly disappeared’.
In a phone call with reporters on the same day, Bill Stepian, head of the squad’s headquarters, claimed that “the president wins by counting all legal votes” and insisting that Trump is engaged against Trump during the counting process. The comments are part of a strategy to take the matter to court if the election turns out unfavorable, NBC News reported.
Trump’s electoral field filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia on the same day. He said that observers’ access to Trump’s electoral field was restricted in the process of opening and counting ballots by mail, and demanded that voting be stopped until transparency is ensured. Michigan demanded that votes that have already been counted be counted. In Georgia, Trump preceded Biden by 1.4 percentage points the day before and immediately filed suit when the gap narrowed to 0.6 percentage points.
Wisconsin, where Biden is winning 0.6 percentage points, is also considering a plan to require a recount. If the count is accepted, the decision may be delayed until the end of this month.
He also said that Pennsylvania’s decision to accept postmarked mail ballots before the presidential election (3rd) as valid votes if they arrive before the 6th will ask the Federal Supreme Court for another hearing. Trump Camp is also considering pursuing additional lawsuits internally based on the Arizona and Nevada results, the Washington Post said.
President Trump said on Twitter that day regarding the lawsuit: “Our lawyers demanded a ‘meaningful approach’ (to the counting process), but what good would it do? The integrity of the system and the presidential election itself have already suffered. This should be discussed. It is, “he wrote.
While emphasizing that there is a problem with the counting process, on the other hand, an interpretation of “President Trump seems to have sensed defeat” (The British Guardian) was a self-help nuance.
