President Donald Trump lost a bitterly fought presidential election to Democrat Joe Biden but continues to refuse to concede. The president has repeatedly pushed claims of widespread voters' fraud, insisting that the other party stole the election from him without providing any evidence.
President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, on the other hand, are gearing up to visit Wilmington, Delaware, on Monday to speak about the nation's economy, the Biden-Harris transition team confirmed in a press release. The Democratic duo's speech will revolve around economic recovery and plans to build America back better in the long term.
This will be their first speech since winning the presidential election. During the campaign, Biden detailed a comprehensive agenda to increase the number of jobs, handling economic inequality, and strengthening social safety. These plans now rely on whether Democrats will get a narrow control of the Senate, or if all legislation will need to be first negotiated with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Analysts suggest that Biden’s proposals will bring back 11 million jobs, aside from $670 billion gross domestic product wiped out, but still not recovered during the crisis faster than if Trump would have won a second term. The chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, Mark Zandi, said Biden's policies are ideal for addressing the economic crisis created by the coronavirus pandemic.
Their speech in Wilmington begins at 1:45 p.m. EST. Personal attorney of President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, did not echo the president's claims made in his recent tweets where he appeared to admit that Biden won the election in an interview with Fox News Sunday Morning Futures. The former New York City mayor said the tweet, wherein Trump claimed Biden won because of a rigged election, was alluding to the unconfirmed claims of widespread voter fraud that the president, his allies, and Giuliani have made.
There is no evidence that suggests Biden won because the recently concluded election was rigged. Although Giuliani said he has evidence to back his claims, he refused to share it on air. He went on to say that he can't share the evidence yet.
He previously made similar promises to show proof in the near future about the Russian interference investigation, the president's impeachment, and the accusations he made against Hunter Biden. In each of the aforesaid cases, he either failed to produce the evidence, or it wasn't as compelling as he promised.
