"donald-trump"

From dividing people to convincing them that they are cheating, Trump is now undermining the electoral system itself

If Biden wins Pennsylvania, he wins the White House

The November 3 election saw a record voter turnout of 66.9 per cent, which is the highest turnout rate since 1900. The 1900 election had recorded 73.7 per cent voter turnout.

According to Trump, Democrats were using "illegal votes" to "steal the election from us." "If you count the legal votes, I easily win," he claimed.

Trump is currently leading in Pennsylvania, but his vote count has reduced considerably over the last one day.

With 71 per cent of mail-in ballots counted in Pennsylvania, officials still needs to count 763,000 of the 2.6 million cast, according to the state's official website.

On November 4, the US formally withdrew from the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change, a decision originally announced three years ago.

Biden surpassed the popular vote record of 69,498,516 set by Obama in 2008.

"We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won't allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which has a Big Trump lead," Trump tweeted on Wednesday.

The video, titled "Trump Won. MSM hopes you don't believe your eyes," was published by pro-Trump group called One American News Network (OANN) on Wednesday.

US media organisations called Michigan for Biden where he had a lead of some 120,000 votes.

Tuesday's election saw tight races in many key battleground States with Biden winning 224 electoral college votes and Trump closely behind with 213

"We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election," the message from Trump read, on both social media platforms.

"We did win this election," Trump said in an extraordinary speech from the ceremonial East Room of the White House.

When last reports came in Biden had received 237 electoral college votes as against 213 of incumbent President Donald Trump of the Republican Party.

With a record more than 100 million Americans having voted ahead of Election Day due to the Covid-19 pandemic, definitive final results could easily take hours or even days to be tabulated.

Mike Roman, Trump's director of election-day operations, posted a video showing a woman in Philadelphia apparently returning multiple ballots to a dropbox and claimed Democrats were "trying to STEAL THE ELECTION in broad daylight."

Trump predicted that a red wave would re-elect him to the White House, while his Democratic challenger Biden is confident of a “big win”

With a huge expansion in mail-in voting to safeguard against the Covid-19 pandemic, nearly 100 million people have already cast ballots.

He has previously expressed that he was concerned about the political blowback of removing the popular and respected doctor before Election Day.
