US Election 2020: Donald Trump Just Refused To Accept Joe Biden Has Won The Election


Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States.

However, outgoing president Donald Trump is not conceding peacefully. Since Biden’s victory was announced today, November 7, Trump quickly put out a statement to say ‘this election is far from over,’ and that he and his team will be taking the matter to court.

Trump’s statement read:

We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: They don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over.

Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.

However, Biden has been certified the winner of many states, and it has just been announced Biden has taken Nevada and it’s six electoral college votes, putting him even further over the 270 electoral college votes needed to win.




Trump added: ‘Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated.’

Trump’s team have already filed a number of lawsuits alleging voter fraud in key battleground states, but presented no evidence. Several states have already dismissed the lawsuits.



Before Biden’s victory was announced, Trump left the White House to play golf. Though the outgoing president does not have to concede, it is a longstanding tradition and considered to be a ‘hallmark of the peaceful transfer of power,’ The Guardian reports

Biden was eventually declared the winner after the Associated Press called Pennsylvania, giving him the essential 20 electoral college votes needed to pass the 270 mark

Tinubu should be in Guinness World Records for causing Nigerians most hardship – Peter Obi

Image
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should be in the Guinness World Records for “causing Nigerians the most hardship .”   Speaking in an interview with Vanguard, the former Anambra state governor noted that the average Nigerian should be able to judge the performance of President Tinubu so far since May 2023.    Recall that President Tinubu said he deserves to be included in the Guinness World Records over his performances in the country since he assumed leadership.   Reacting, Peter Obi said; “He may actually be correct when he claims that his name deserves to be in the Guinness World Records. Don’t forget that people’s names don’t always make it into the Guinness World Records for only altruistic reasons. So, it depends on which angle he is coming from. If the idea is to put his name in the Guinness Book of Records for causing Nigerians the most hardship – untold hardship, of course he i...

Don’t drag Obi into your Tinubu fight, LP tells Atiku

Image
The leadership of the Labour Party has asked the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to leave out its candidate, Peter Obi, from his feud with President Bola Tinubu, saying the former Anambra governor is solely focused on reclaiming his ‘stolen mandate’ at the apex court. The party however said it will welcome any interest that amplifies its quest for a nation where true justice shall reign. The response was a reaction to the call by the PDP candidate for Obi and the presidential flag bearer of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to join his crusade in exposing the alleged dirty secrets of the president. In a statement released in Abuja on Wednesday by the National Publicity Secretary of LP, Obiora Ifoh, the party appealed that they would appreciate if their candidate is allowed to concentrate on his case at the apex court. The statement read, “The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi is presently in the Supreme Cou...
