US President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to show “great wisdom and courage” in facing a lawsuit against the results of the presidential vote confirming the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
Trump wrote in a tweet posted on his Twitter account on Friday: “If the Supreme Court showed great wisdom and courage, the American people would win perhaps the most important case in history and our electoral process will be respected again.”
If the Supreme Court shows great wisdom and courage, the American people will win perhaps the most important case in history, and our electoral process will be respected again!

This tweet was a comment on the lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxto, requesting recognition of the illegality of the voting results in four undecided states where Biden won (namely Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan) and authorizing the legislative bodies of these states to elect their representatives to the electoral college regardless of the results of the vote.
Another 18 states under Republican control and 126 of the 196 Republican members of the House of Representatives voiced support for the lawsuit.
Despite the voting results, Trump insists on refusing to admit defeat in the election, accusing his Democratic opponents of fraud.
The Trump campaign has brought dozens of lawsuits against voting results in crucial states to determine the winner of the presidential race, but most of them have been rejected by the judiciary.
