The president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, addressed the Americans, asking for unity and “healing” of the neuroses that accompanied the electoral process. And as his transition team indicated in a previous press release, Biden stressed in his speech to the American people the need to “turn the page,” recalling that politicians in the United States “do not take power at their own discretion, but rather the people give it to him. “
The statement from the Democratic President’s transition team said they have urgent action, the most urgent of which will be to “control the Covid-19 epidemic and vaccinate the American people against this virus, while providing immediate economic assistance to Americans. that have been harmed by the pandemic that has damaged the economy. ” The transition team noted the need to work to rebuild the economy so that it is better than ever.
Biden’s transition team also failed to say that their battle was “for the spirit of America that prevailed and won,” and emphasized that the integrity of the US election remains unchanged.
Trump tried to take advantage of a complex electoral system dating from the 18th century that enshrines the procedures for the victory of the candidate in the presidential elections by obtaining the largest number of votes from the electoral colleges.
The American Electoral College had officially announced that the Democratic candidate Biden won an easy victory, obtaining 306 votes in the precinct compared to 232 for Donald Trump, who has no way of changing the overall result or obstructing the results, except by a maneuver. final to persuade Congress not to pass the decision. The results of the scrutiny, on January 6, and this is completely unlikely, after the electoral college resolved the result and confirmed the big difference between the winner and the loser.
Republicans almost certainly won’t be able to stop Biden from taking office on January 20. Democrats control the House of Representatives and many of its Republican members have acknowledged Biden’s victory. In fact, the collapse at the GOP front, in terms of support for Trump, continues, as the “Wall Street Journal”, which strongly supports him, abandoned and trusted him, and wrote that his time is up! !
Most likely, the issue will not be limited to Trump not turning the wheel in his favor, despite the big difference in favor of Biden, but will face the consequences of his stubbornness, even at the level of the Republican Party. He caused a rupture in the American democratic structure and, through his ambitions and narcissism, questioned in an unprecedented way the electoral system and the credibility of the administration and the electoral process. And the Republican Party itself confronted him, and lawmakers in American states rejected his requests, and the previous newspaper wrote that Trump’s legal appeals “continued their course, and he and members of the Republican Party have no choice but to help the country and themselves recognizing the result and moving forward. “
Despite this, Trump continued his fierce campaign to turn his great defeat into an even greater victory, even after announcing that he would leave the White House when the electoral college votes for Biden, and after his demands to challenge the counting process. of votes and the accusations of fraud failed.
Trump tried to take advantage of a complex electoral system dating from the 18th century, which enshrines the procedures for the victory of the candidate in the presidential elections, not obtaining the majority of the popular vote but obtaining the highest number of votes from the electoral college, and this is a measure that arises from the capitalist economy. , Which assigns a measured number of electoral votes to each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia, according to their economic weight and their general gross income, historically, along with their population.
The conclusion of the blows that Trump received, and he did not expect it, was that the attorney general of the United States, William Barr, resigned, after the electoral college confirmed by a wide margin Biden’s victory. Barr, originally loyal to Trump, had refused to accept his false claims, claiming that last November’s election was marred by fraud, and announced early that he would step down from office, a month before Biden took office. Assistant Attorney General Jeff Rosen takes over as Acting Attorney General after Barr’s departure.
Trump’s problem with the attorney general was the latter’s statement that the US Justice Department investigation found no signs of major election fraud. This statement contradicted the accusations by Trump, who described the Attorney General’s position as a “great disappointment.”
“The Democratic candidate, Biden, scored an easy victory by getting 306 votes in the room, compared to 232 for Donald Trump, who has no way of changing the overall result or obstructing the results.”
Trump was apparently betting on a group of loyal legalists to mislead public opinion and mislead justice. But what happened is that the United States Supreme Court, despite having a Republican majority, and including three judges appointed by Trump himself, refused to consider only one appeal filed by the Texas authorities, and another filed by Republicans. deeply loyal to Trump, with the goal of canceling the results of presidential elections in several states.
Now, the problem of Trump and his refusal to accept the election results is behind all Americans, and the first challenge has become the Corona pandemic. However, what happened since the first week of last November plunged them into a political stalemate that affects the electoral system.
Despite the proliferation of examples of Americans of all races contributing to American civilization and scientific achievements, including the achievements of a vaccine for Covid-19, racist trends are increasingly tied to economic frustrations. , which Trump has tried to address with shocks, conflicts and attempts to acquire subservient relationships with other countries. And degrade the value of cooperation and mutual respect, even to a minimum.
