Yesterday, the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, was on the verge of arriving at the White House, after his advance in the main state of Pennsylvania, at a time when his rival Donald Trump seemed determined to oppose the ruling of the funds.
And without any of the main American media announcing the victory of either candidate, the Democrats began to announce victory.
And Senate Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it was “clear” that Joe Biden was headed “to win the White House.”
“President-elect Biden has a strong mandate to govern,” he said, using the phrase used to describe the winner of the election until he takes office on January 20.
Amid the very slow progress of the vote count, Americans woke up to a reversal of competition between the two men, and during the day Biden took the lead, for the first time since Tuesday, on Trump in Pennsylvania by 6,800 votes.
Given the convergence of the results, no prominent American media outlets announced the victory of one of the candidates in this North American industrialized state, which numbers 20 important voters, and that Trump won in 2016. The difference between the two candidates was expected to be will expand with the progress of the vote count sent by mail. He’s 80% in favor of Biden.
In the event that former US Vice President Barack Obama wins in Pennsylvania, he will be the 46th president of the United States, regardless of the result in the rest of the states.
Likewise, the results of the vote in Georgia, in which no Democratic candidate or president has won since 1992, began in the morning towards Joe Biden, until he left his opponent by more than 1,500 votes.
However, Secretary of State Brad Ravensberger said that “in such a narrow margin, the vote will be re-counted in Georgia.”
The candidate in the race for the White House needs a majority of 270 votes in the electorate, while Biden currently has between 253 and 264 votes if the state of Arizona is counted in his favor, compared to 214 votes for Trump.
In Pennsylvania and Georgia, Trump was directly benefiting in Arizona from extending the counting processes. As Biden pursued the leader, he threatened the Democratic candidate with losing the top 11 voters this state allows.
Yet in an indication that the Democrat is close to achieving a presidential victory, the secret service tasked with protecting top officials, as of yesterday, beefed up many of its elements around Joe Biden at his stronghold in Delaware.
The president of the United States renewed the accusations of fraud without providing any evidence in his favor.
“If I count the legal votes, I win easily,” he told reporters at the White House. “If the illegal votes are counted, they can try to steal the elections from us.”
CNN quoted advisers close to Trump as saying that he does not intend to admit defeat in the election if they occur.
People close to Trump made it clear that he had not prepared the “concession speech” that the losing candidate used to deliver in the US elections.
In response to journalists’ questions about whether he prepared a speech about winning or losing the election, Trump said: “I have not yet considered a winning speech or accept defeat,” adding: “I hope to deliver only one of them,” referring to to the speech that won the elections. .
Trump is more isolated
His campaign team confirmed that the presidential election “is not over yet” and noted that “the erroneous estimates announcing the victory of Joe Biden are based on results that are far from final in four states.”
The 45th president of the United States appeared isolated within his party, the Republican, before his accusations that he would be the victim of “stealing” the elections.
“We have not heard any evidence that is spoken of,” said former New Jersey governor and ally of President Chris Christie on ABC, warning of the risk of fueling tension without tangible elements.
However, Trump had the support of two prominent senators, Lindsay Graham and Ted Cruz. The latter said through “Fox News”: “I can tell you that the president is angry, I am, and the voters too, I think.”
Biden, in turn, asked again for calm and patience. He wrote in a tweet: “None of us will take away our democracy, not today, not at all.”
Hours earlier, the Democratic candidate had shown confidence in his next victory, in a speech marked by a presidential tone. “I ask everyone to stay calm,” he said in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, “The process is going as it should, the count continues and we will know the result very soon … We have no doubt that with the end of the count, our victory will be declared. “
Legal complaints
Trump had announced on election night that he had won the election and that he would appeal to the United States Supreme Court, but remained vague on why.
In fact, his attorneys have initiated several court cases at the state level, demanding, for example, a recount in Wisconsin.
Democrats believe these complaints are unfounded, but they can delay confirmation of results for several days or even weeks.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia police arrested two men after learning that an armed attack was being prepared at a vote counting center, reflecting the extreme tension in a deeply divided country.
