While the count still continues in many key states, the outgoing president, Donald Trump welcomed his lead in a certain number of states, whose final results should only be known in the hours when coming and even claimed victory.
“Honestly, we won the election,” said Trump with a brief speech from the White House, evoking “fraud” and “shame”, and ensuring that he intended to seize the Supreme Court in order to ensure that ballots are not found “at four in the morning” or added to the polls.
No sooner had he finished his brief speech than Donald Trump answered on Twitter. “We are in front and by far, but they try to steal the election. We will never let them do it, “said Trump, in a message against which Twitter immediately warned his users, believing that he could be” misleading “.
As for the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, he had previously said “on the right track” to win this extremely undecided presidential election. The former vice-president of Barack Obama nevertheless called for patience in the face of the confusion that reigned over the results in several key states.
To prevail, a candidate must obtain at least 270 of the 538 large voters awarded at the level of the States. At this stage, the outgoing president (213) is in the neck with the Democrat (235).
