Even if the current president is calm: Trump and his lawyers want to continue fighting from Monday.
Lock it up, lock it up, call Trump supporters last night in Saint Paul, Minnesota. You mean winner Joe Biden. Despite the hot weather, the situation is not getting worse. “I hope the Trump team continues the fight. I hope you go to court. We just want a fair election, ”says one supporter.
Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, said a lawsuit would be filed on Monday. He doubts the television news station reports of Joe Biden’s victory with irritating gestures: “All the news networks! All the news shows, wow! We can forget about the law, we can forget about the judges! “
No intention of congratulating
Trump played golf yesterday and had himself photographed at a wedding party. The incumbent president has yet to give interviews on the outcome of the elections.
According to CNN, the loser has yet to contact the election winner, Joe Biden, to congratulate him on his success. According to his lawyer Giuliani, he has no intention of doing so either. Roger Stone, Trump’s longtime friend and adviser, also has doubts.

In an official statement on Saturday, Trump showed that he is still far from accepting defeat: “We all know why Joe Biden is in a hurry to falsely pretend to be a winner and why his media allies are so bad he tries to help him: you don’t want him out. the truth. “Trump is supported in this attitude by his two sons Eric and Donald Jr.
Son-in-law Jared Kushner and other political allies, however, strike a different note. According to the AP news agency, they want to convince Trump to change his tone and allow a smooth transfer.
Republicans in a dilemma
And your party? SRF correspondent Thomas von Grünigen explains that there are two camps among Republicans: There is the closest circle around the president, people like Rudolph Giuliani, who continue to support him. And there is also a large part of the party that, at least behind the scenes, knows very clearly that there is little chance that Trump will remain in office. Now it is about allowing Trump to resign in the most dignified way possible, which is why it is said in public that the ballots must be counted and the court cases must continue.
But for von Grünigen it is clear: “The party must prepare for the time after Trump, unless it remembers that Trump wants to run again in four years.” It could, and would be a possibility. But in the short term it is clear that the party is looking for a way to make it clear to Trump that he no longer has a chance and that at some point he will simply have to resign.
