Trump Claims His Team Has All The Evidence To Overturn The Election Result
President Donald Trump wants President-elect Joe Biden’s victory to be reversed, and he is no stone unturned in a bid to make sure that his plans come to fruition. During a GOP-led hearing on the presidential election, the president tried to spread dubious claims of widespread voter fraud and made baseless claims of winning several key swing states that went to his opponent.
Amid a series of court losses, Trump made an unplanned call-in appearance Republican state legislature hearing that took place in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. There he told the attendees that they need to overturn the election results.
The president claimed his team has managed to gather all the evidence, making a contrary statement to the judges in several states who turned down his legal drive to block certification of ballots or have a considerable number of mail-in votes invalidated. Team Trump tweeted a clip of the president's full remarks at the conference on widespread voter fraud in the recently concluded election. Twitter quickly labeled the tweet for making a disputed claim.
As a member of his campaign's legal team, Jenna Ellis held up a mobile phone for him to speak to. Trump said they just need a judge to listen to their shreds of evidence correctly, without their personal political opinion or any other problem affecting their decision. Ellis was sitting next to the president's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, CNBC reported.
During this speakerphone speech, Trump asserted that the election needs to be reversed, adding that they won Pennsylvania and several other swing states by a lot. A stark difference from this claim, Pennsylvania and Nevada certified Biden's win over the president, with Pennslyvania Governor Tom Wolf tweeting Tuesday that he had signed the Certificate of Ascertainment.
In another tweet, he thanked the election officials for administering a fair and free election during this challenging time in America's history. Wolf pointed out that the election workers have faced continuous attacks but managed to perform admirably and honorably.
To make things worse for Trump and his legal team, Michigan and Georgia also certified their votes, dragging the president's bid to change the election results in his favor out of reach. This didn't stop Trump from refusing to concede, and he tweeted that he will never concede to Biden, claiming that the Democrats stole the election from him without offering any evidence.
