However, he said, the difference between the two candidates would not be great: “Only a few tens of thousands of votes could determine the outcome, which is impressive knowing that 150 million, and perhaps more, Americans voted.”
According to Kojala, it is not in vain that D. Trump reiterated before the elections that voting by mail is unfair because he understands that the votes that now arrive by mail are not unfavorable to him.
“It just came to our knowledge then. If you lose, and the loss probably doesn’t make much of a difference, you can say that you didn’t lose because of you, but that someone rigged the choice, someone was opaque, or maybe the elite became their against and tried to overshadow it, ”explains L. Kojala.
In his opinion, it is likely that in some states there may be initiatives to go to court, try to recalculate the votes, perhaps cancel some of them.

Political scientist Kęstutis Girnius says that the election results so far are surprising, because all the polls predicted Joe Biden’s victory.
“Now there is a real possibility that D. Trump will win, although it is too early to predict. The only explanation I have is that the supporters of D. Trump are perhaps more enthusiastic, although less, almost all voted”, considers the political scientist.
He notes that even if Biden wins, Republicans should retain the Senate.
“The Senate could halt any further reform. If that paralysis continued for another four years, America’s leadership in the world would suffer significantly and tensions within the country would clearly increase,” says K. Girnius.
He is convinced that J. Biden would be a more favorable president both for Lithuania and for the whole of Europe.
“It would be better for Mr. Biden to put more emphasis on transatlantic ties, to support NATO more strongly, not to talk about closing it down.” In general, do not threaten boycotts, trade wars. It would not affect European defense policy, but relations with Europe would be more peaceful. J. Biden emphasizes that having allies is one of the main strengths of the United States, which D. Trump does not want to recognize, “says K. Girnius.

Political scientist L. Kojala, meanwhile, notes that the Trump administration was certainly not happy with Russia, although there may be such expectations ahead of the 2016 election.
“If Trump’s own rhetoric toward Putin were somewhat ambiguous, practical action would not allow him to say that he was kind to the Kremlin. For example, he agreed to supply lethal weaponry to Ukraine, although the Barack Obama administration, albeit in slightly different terms, refused to do so. His administration has extended sanctions against the Kremlin, clearly under pressure from Congress. It is fighting especially for more American gas exports to Europe, which means a direct confrontation with Russia, “Kojala said on Delfi’s day. .
