The dead end. A week after the presidential election, three days after the allocation of a necessary number of voters to guarantee victory to Democrat Joe Biden, Donald Trump still refuses to acknowledge his defeat. A sign of the ambivalence of the White House, the latter welcomed the three major voters won in Alaska according to the Associated Press agency, Wednesday, November 11, while continuing to affirm that it is not “The press” who decides the elections when it comes to results favorable to Joe Biden.
The President remained silent on his first public outing to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Military Cemetery, Virginia. But he repeated all day his allegations of electoral fraud on his Twitter account. The day before, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, too, camped in denial by promising a “Smooth transition” to a “Second” mandate of Donald Trump.
These accusations of fraud, relayed by some officials of the Republican Party, however, remain particularly vague. So far, the Republican camp has also suffered rebuff after rebuff in the courts. The Arizona Attorney General, a Republican, was unwittingly cruel by noting Tuesday that his party had performed well in his state even if the latter, he said, should ultimately switch in favor of Joe Biden at the presidential level. “People divided their vote, they voted Republican [pour des sièges locaux] but not for President Trump (…), it is reality “, assured Mark Brnovich.
“Source of embarrassment”
One of the few options for Donald Trump is vote counting. In the columns of Wall Street Journal, Republican strategist Karl Rove, however, ruled on Tuesday “The president’s efforts are unlikely to remove a single state from those won by Mr. Biden, and they are certainly not enough to change the end result.” “To win, Mr. Trump must prove systemic fraud, with illegal votes in the tens of thousands. There is no proof of this so far ”, Karl Rove added. But time is running out. States have already started to certify the November 3 results. Among those whose results are disputed by Donald Trump, Georgia will do so on November 20, followed by Pennsylvania and Michigan on November 23, then Arizona on November 30 and, finally, Wisconsin and Nevada on November 1.er December.
