Almost two weeks have passed and President Trump has yet to show signs of stopping his efforts to challenge the law and acknowledge Biden’s victory.
While President Donald Trump’s campaign has produced no evidence of electoral fraud and attempts to challenge the legal are not working as expected, the head of the White House maintained his remarks. .
“Those responsible for protecting our Constitution cannot allow the false results of the 2020 mail-order elections to take effect,” President Trump tweeted on the night of November 15. “The world is watching!”
Many of the top leaders of the Communist Party have yet to acknowledge President Trump’s defeat against his Democratic rival Joe Biden.
No one knows for sure what the president and his allies will do. But many analysts say deadlines on election confirmations and the transfer of power could prevent Trump’s efforts from having a chance of success.

All states set separate deadlines to officially confirm the results of the presidential elections. In some major states, the deadline is approaching, like Georgia on November 20. President Trump is trying to slow down or block this confirmation, but it appears to have had little success.
After that, the Electoral College will meet and vote to officially recognize Joe Biden as president-elect on December 14. This is the time to officially confirm Trump’s defeat, unless he has somehow designated supporting constituencies in Biden’s winning states.
If Republicans are just trying to “please” Trump or trying to please Trump during this time period, state backing and Electoral College votes give them a chance to help the General. Enough is enough, according to Andrew Prokop, an analyst Vox.
Some sources close to the US president say that even without admitting defeat, Trump is more likely to accept reality and stop trying to prevent Biden from becoming president after the above deadlines.
“But of course we can’t be sure until it actually does,” Prokop wrote.

Federal law in the US states that the deadline for all states to confirm the results of the presidential elections and appoint voters is December 8. But many states set their own deadlines earlier, and each confirmation of Biden’s victory in the battlefield states would be a blow to Trump’s attempt to “turn the tide.”
First, Georgia, the state of the battlefield Biden won, has a deadline to confirm the results before November 20. Secretary General of State Brad Raffensperger said he saw this as a set deadline. Georgia continues to count all votes by hand and is expected to end at 11:59 pm on November 18. Biden is about 14,000 votes ahead of Trump here, so the vote count is unlikely to bring Trump’s victory. However, it is not excluded that President Trump will continue to request a recount after Georgia has confirmed the results.
Next up is Michigan, which has a November 23 deadline to confirm results. Biden leads Trump by about 146,000 votes, the largest gap the Democratic candidate leaves with Trump in competing states. However, the problem is that this result must be approved by the State Commission for the Defense of the Vote, with four members, including two Democrats and two republics. Some are concerned that Republicans may deny the results due to allegations of voter fraud. And this scenario almost came true when the original Republican member refused to confirm the election results. However, they later accepted the signature due to a backlash and were criticized for not respecting the popular vote.
Pennsylvania does not set a deadline for confirming specific state election results, but the deadline for state counties to confirm it is November 23. After that, Kathy Boockvar, the Democrat’s Commonwealth secretary, will be responsible for confirming the final result.
Nevada will confirm the results a day after Michigan, but some other states after Thanksgiving, such as Arizona on November 30 and Wisconsin on December 1. President Trump can also request a recount in Wisconsin, but he has to pay $ 7.9 million at his expense for the process and must decide before November 18.
Usually, in the states above, confirmation of the voting results comes with the appointment of the electors, who will vote directly in the December 14 presidential election. The Electoral College will be made up of 538 members, representing the voters of 50 US states.
If voters in Biden’s states win to continue supporting him in the vote in mid-December, the Democratic candidate will become president-elect of the United States. However, it is not excluded that disobedient voters, who do not vote for the candidate as originally committed by the state or abstain, may cause changes in the results of the presidential elections. But this is rarely the case.
Andrew Prokop, editor of Vox, said President Trump’s attempt to reject the election results became increasingly difficult after states confirmed the results in late November and early December as planned. especially when the Electoral College votes in mid-December.
Prokop does not mean that Trump will give up. But many sources recently revealed that President Trump has tacitly admitted defeat and is looking to retire without losing face, like the announcement of re-election in 2024.
