Incumbent US President Donald Trump reacts after US Presidential Election 2020 being called for Democractic rival Joe Biden.
Democratic Joe Biden on Saturday defeated Donald Trump in the US Presidential Election 2020. The presidential run between Trump and Biden proved as one of the most tight races ever witnessed in the US election history as it took almost 4 days to finally call that Trump's Democratic rival Joe Biden won the election after winning the state of Pennsylvania which has 20 electoral votes, where Trump was leading earlier. Even though the US Presidential Election 2020 has finally been called for Joe Biden, Trump has refused to accept his defeat saying "this election is far from over."
In a statement, Donald Trump said, "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. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media." FULL COVERAGE

"Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access."
"So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands." The statement was issued while Trump was golfing at his club in Virginia.
