Trump Claims Victory, Says Will Go to Supreme Court to Stop Vote Counting

Investing.com -- President Donald Trump claimed victory in the U.S. election and threatened action in the Supreme Court to curtail a vote count that is still continuing in a handful of key swing states. 

“We will win this, and as far as I’m concerned, we already have won it,” Trump told supporters at an event that - in defiance of tradition - was held at the White House.

Trump has already effectively won some key states such as Texas, Florida and Ohio, insofar as the result is already beyond reasonable doubt after the counting of a majority of votes. 

However, the vote count in states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada and Pennsylvania remains in doubt, given the deluge of mail-in ballots that still need to be processed. Consequently, both Trump and his opponent Joe Biden still have clear pathways to victory in the electoral college.

Trump again conflated the issue of votes that haven't yet been counted with his previous unsupported allegations of vote fraud by his opponents.

"We want the voting to stop," Trump said. "This is a fraud on the American public, this is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election and, frankly, we did win this election.”

All the results announced so far are preliminary projections, as is usual.

Joe Biden 72,075,757 Votes (50.4% ) AND Donald Trump 68,600,187 Votes (47.97%) —Joe Biden needs one more state——- get used to it - Joe Biden is unstoppable
Your point not clear- what dont you understsnd- resukts are real - trump said so and these are his followers of his supporrt of his unscrupulous behaviour - by the eay ne glad you get true figures - find your info from more reliable source @giantluca
Don’t mind people weighing in but please I ask that you come with your research and knowledge on both Parties and can therefore make your point. As im not quite sure you have all the facts of both parties, based on what you have written @intel lect
Normal people do not want you trump- its not just about US but for the entire world - no one wants you but obviously only like minded ones as yourseif and your entire family running america - jusy get out of office- the world need healing agsin whst caos your have planted over your 4 years
Biden 264 - Trumo 214 - “President Donald Trump's campaign has filed lawsuits to stop vote counts in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia, three states that could determine the winner of the tightly contested US presidential electi” sounds like Mugabe and Kenyatta among other curropt african leaders - this is trump the lunatic and trouble maker
JUST IN: Donald Trump's campaign to "immediately" request a recount in the battleground state of Wisconsin, where the Democratic candidate Joe Biden is narrowly leading the race.
Trump is paranoid about losing. He dreams up excuses why he could lose then believes it to be true. His mind takes over and blows it out of all proportion. And then its up to everyone else to prove it isn't true. His paranoid mind cannot stop him from sending out accusastions via tweets without substantiated evidence to back them up. But that puts pressure on others to discount his statements because if they don't, it'll look like they are true
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has taken a narrow lead in the key battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan as more results trickle in. Here's how the race looks like as of 15:30 UTC: Biden's campaign manager says the Democrat is on a "clear path to victory," with the campaign expecting to win Wisconsin, Nevada, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
stolen election and a silly headline
stolen
Why the misleading headline? He didn't say he would go to court to stop the vote counting, you even quoted what he said, he said "We want the voting to stop". Voting to stop, not the counting....
more people are on favour of him so far than Biden. He had done a lot on his term so far whether people like it or not.
We all love Trump!!!
though am not an American and not in the US, i too love Mr. Trump for his proAmerican reforms. very few do. many just talk.
I think he's just saying they will fabricate votes as required to turn the election their way. They have done this before, and spreading a bit of money around in the corrupt US society is the norm, not the exception.
Treasure hidden in Supreme Court? Going to grab it.
Joe Biden hit 50%
Trump to boycot the elections is what happens in corrupt africa continent - trump very undemocratic to intend to stop vote count - afraid probably of Pennsyvania which matters the most of the outcome
