More than one hundred people gathered in the East Room of the White House to follow the elections.
As is well known, the election result was long overdue, and it was not until three days after Joe Biden was declared the winner of the election. It is true that Trump has not acknowledged the electoral defeat, but he has made several allegations of electoral fraud. He has also said the election “is far from over,” and the Trump campaign has filed a series of lawsuits against the vote count in several states.
The AP news agency writes that several of the participants in the electoral vigil have been informed about the cases of contagion through the media, and that the White House does not want to date who else could have tested positive.
