Donald Trump said he would challenge the results of the presidential election in the Supreme Court if the count of the remaining votes gives the victory to Joe Biden. “We were preparing to win this election, and to be honest, we won this election,” he said at a press conference at the White House.
Trump stated that he had already won in the states of Ohio and Texas and took Florida by a wide margin. But, he says, he also won Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, although none of the candidates have yet been awarded victory in those states. “This is a deception of the American society, this is a disgrace to our country,” Trump said.
The incumbent then stated that his opponents apparently decided to sort it out in court, and promised to go to the Supreme Court so that they "do not find new ballots at 4 o'clock in the morning." “We will win, and I think we already have,” Trump said at the end of his press conference.
As of 11:00 Moscow time, the winner of the US election has not been determined: the results of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, which have become key, have not been calculated. Bloomberg gives Biden 236 electoral votes out of the required 270, Trump 213.
A characteristic feature of the current US presidential election has been a significant number of votes cast by mail due to the coronavirus pandemic. Most of them are expected to be Democrats. Because of this, the calculation of the election results is delayed. You can follow the results and the most important news online in The Bell broadcast .
