Trump Continues Campaign to Overturn Election Results

HeadlineNov 12, 2020

President-elect Joe Biden’s lead in the popular vote over Donald Trump has now topped 5 million and continues to grow. No evidence has emerged to back up Trump’s claim of widespread voter fraud, but on Wednesday Georgia’s secretary of state ordered a hand recount for the presidential race. The Wall Street Journal reports the Trump campaign is increasingly looking into ways to prevent key states from certifying election results, with the hope that Republican-led legislatures would then appoint pro-Trump electors to the Electoral College.

Trump’s refusal to concede the race may also be helping his campaign financially. Half of all money collected for the campaign’s legal challenges is quietly being reallocated to pay off campaign debt.

On Wednesday, Trump made his first public appearance since the race was called for Joe Biden. He placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery to mark Veterans Day but made no remarks.
