In a historically unprecedented step, the US president declares himself the winner of the presidential election without having the necessary votes from the electorate. He wants to sue the further counting. Biden criticizes Trump’s statements as “scandalous” – and threatens legal action. Although the count is still ongoing in some major states, US President Donald Trump has declared himself the winner. The US is likely to face a deep constitutional crisis. During an appearance in front of supporters in the White House, Trump described the course of the election as “a fraud against the American people” and “a shame for our country”. He added: “Frankly, we won this election.” He also said, “We’re going to win this (the election) and as far as I’m concerned we’ve already won.” He accused the Democrats of only seeing two options from the start: either the election to win or to sue. “They knew they couldn’t win, so now they say they are going to court.” He announced that he would file a motion with the US Supreme Court to stop the counting of votes. The aim is obviously to prevent absentee votes from being counted. Literally he said: “We want all voting to end.” Presumably he was referring to the ongoing counting of numerous postal votes.

“Are on the way to win” Biden appears unusually early in front of the cameras

Challenger Joe Biden’s team has dismissed Trump’s statements about a possible halt to the US election count as “scandalous” and “unprecedented”. Biden announced that if Trump went to court to challenge the election result, the Democrats would take legal action against it. In some states – including particularly competitive Pennsylvania – postal votes postmarked on election day are accepted even if they are received by the authorities a few days after the election. In the past few months, Trump has repeatedly denounced alleged fraud in postal votes, although experts and officials strongly disagree. Trump presented it in a speech as if his victory had long been clear, “and suddenly everything will stop”. Untruthfully, he claimed that the television networks would not count the state of Texas he won for him. “We won Texas by 700,000 votes and they don’t even list that in their tables.” At this point in time, both the conservative broadcaster Fox News and the Trump-critical broadcaster CNN had long since included the 38 electorate from Texas in their calculations. It was noticeable that Vice President Mike Pence expressed himself more cautiously. He praised Trump, but only said of the election: “We will be vigilant and defend the integrity of the election.” Trump is “on the way to victory and we will make America great again”. Biden had previously made an appearance in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware. “We believe we are on our way to win this election,” he says. “I or Donald Trump cannot announce who won the election. That is the decision of the people of America. But I am optimistic about the result.”
