Current President Donald Trump, along with his team of lawyers, tried to overturn the election results in several key states won by Joe Biden, including Pennsylvania, but almost all of his court actions were dismissed by the judges for lack of evident procedural evidence and flaws. Previously, Biden’s victory was certified in other key states such as Georgia and Michigan. Several US officials involved in managing the electoral process said in a joint statement more than a week after the presidential election that “no evidence was found” of lost or amended votes and hacked voting systems. .
Trump authorized on Monday night the beginning of the transition process to a new administration, led by Joe Biden, more than two weeks after the Democrat defeated him in the US presidential elections.

Joe Biden, according to the results of the elections, would win the presidency with 306 votes in the College. Donald Trump would receive 232.
