No end in sight: the outgoing US President Donald Trump continues to take action against the result of the 2020 US election - and raises allegations in connection with a corona vaccine.

  • The Democrat

    Joe Biden

    won the

    2020 US election *

    against

    Donald Trump

    .

  • But the outgoing US president does not want to admit his defeat.

  • In several states he is taking action against the result - so far without any success.

Update on 24 November, 22.30:

Even

Donald Trump

came before the press on Tuesday - and twice.

In a curious appearance, the US President praised the rise in the

Dow Jones share index

and a “sacred number”.

Trump also “pardoned” a turkey in a traditional ceremony before Thanksgiving.

However, a

video of

the pardon appearance two years ago

received the greater attention

.

At that time, the US President spoke of all things "fair elections" - and a "recount" without changing the result.

“America is back!”: Biden introduces his team - and gives Trump a strong hand

Update from November 24th, 8:00 p.m.:

The

designated US President Joe Biden

has presented his candidates for key positions in his future government.

"It is a team that reflects the fact that America is back, ready to lead the world instead of withdrawing from it," said Biden on Tuesday in

Wilmington

, clearly referring to the course of the US under his predecessor Donald Trump.

With its future government team, America is "ready to face our opponents, instead of rejecting our allies, ready to stand up for our values".

America is back.

- Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 24, 2020

Vice-President-elect

Kamala Harris

said, "We will reunite and renew America's alliances, rebuild and strengthen the national security and foreign policy institutions that protect us." 78-year-old Democrat Biden

urged the US Senate

to

do

the initiate the necessary confirmation process of its candidates and hear them as soon as possible.

He also expressed hope for bipartisan cooperation to advance and unite the country.

Previously,

Pennsylvania

had 

officially confirmed the result of the presidential election

as another contested

US state

with the victory of Joe Biden.

This takes even more air out of the sails of the defeated President Donald Trump in his attempts to overturn the outcome of the election on November 3 with legal attacks.

Pennsylvania's Governor Tom Wolf then announced that he had formally directed the state's 20 electorate to vote for Biden.

Biden won in Pennsylvania by a good 80,500 votes.

US election 2020: Trump wants to keep fighting

Update from November 24th, 11:15 a.m.:

The outgoing US President

Donald Trump

continues to adhere to the fact that he was

cheated in the

2020 US election

.

But with that he is more and more alone.

He will continue to fight for his presidency - even if numerous complaints from his team have already been dismissed - he said again.

For the elected US President

Joe Biden

, the start of the so-called "transition" is crucial.

He can now begin the handover, his staff can

speak

to

government officials

, and he has access to $ 6.3 million earmarked for this phase.

Yohannes Abraham, the executive director in charge of the handover of government to

Joe Biden

, said in a statement that it was "a necessary step in addressing the challenges facing our nation." The new

US president

will begin working with Trump's government officials speak: "To discuss the response to the pandemic, fully consider our national security interests, and

gain

a full understanding of the

Trump administration's

efforts

to undermine government agencies."

Update from November 24th, 7.45 a.m.:

The transition between the administration of US President

Donald Trump

 and the elected US President

Joe Biden

can begin.

Trump said on Monday evening (local time) on Twitter that he had instructed the authorities and his employees to cooperate with Biden.

... fight, and I believe we will prevail!

Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 23, 2020

Update from November 23, 10:50 p.m.:

The next nasty surprise for

Donald Trump

follows on the foot.

In the state of

Michigan

,

Joe Biden's

election victory was

certified.

This means that the Democrats should be certain of the 16 voters.

Update from November 23, 8:58 p.m.:

For

Donald Trump it

sets another setback in the effort

to snatch

the

election victory

from

Joe Biden

through the back door.

The

Supreme Court

refuses to

hear its attorneys' lawsuit against the result in Pennsylvania.

This had seen the challenger ahead.

A

district judge

had previously

dismissed the Trump camp's request to amend an ongoing lawsuit.

This should have been expanded to include the argument that the

Pennsylvania vote

was unconstitutional.

The hope of the US president and his colleagues: The election result should have been rejected and the

state parliament

, which is

dominated by Republicans,

could decide on the 20 electorates from the state.

In this way, Trump wants to cling to his office.

In total, lawsuits are being filed in six states.

Pennsylvania becomes a

key state

for him

.

Update November 23, 20:28:

Apparently in

Trump's

not all former companions from their own team

victory

of probably the outgoing

US

-

President

convinced.

According to the US news

platform Axios

from Virginia, it is now reporting that even Donald Trump's top advisors are no longer in agreement and would clash violently in discussions.

In addition, one of Trump's closest confidants now turned against him: Steve

Schwarzman

, the Blackstone CEO, according to the portal's report, now also sees Joe Biden as the winner.

Right after the election, Schwarzman had been on Trump's side.

But the election investigations have now convinced him of the legitimacy of Biden's victory, the CEO said.

US election: Showdown in Michigan - can Trump still prevent the Biden victory?

Update from November 23, 5:28 p.m.:

This is the day in

Michigan

the

result of the US presidential election

in the northern state is to be officially confirmed.

Actually, this should only be a formality, because

Joe Biden had

around 154,000 more votes than

Donald Trump

after the counts

.

But the

US president

apparently has a trump card up his sleeve.

Because the four-person committee that is responsible for the promulgation also includes two Republicans.

The ruler in the

White House

is said to be putting pressure on the duo so that they could refuse to certify the result.

As a result, the appointment of

Michigan's 16 electorate

could be

delayed, leading to a

court decision

.

Trump's hope could be that the state parliaments ultimately

determine

their own electorate

, who will then

determine the future head of state

on December 14 at the

Electoral College

.

In Michigan, Republicans have a majority in the state parliament.

So it will be exciting to see what is being announced in Great Lakes State.

Should Trump actually try

to stay in

power

in this way

, it would be an

affront to the country and its people

.

A simply perfidious plan.

Update from November 22, 7:26 p.m.:

In the meantime,

Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20

seems

only a formality.

But the Kremlin of all people is still reluctant to recognize the Democrats as the election winner.

You will work with every

US president

who "has the confidence of the American people," said

Vladimir Putin,

according to the

Bloomberg

portal

on Russian state television on Sunday.

"But this trust can only be gained by a candidate who is recognized by the losing party - or after the results are recognized through a legitimate, official channel," Putin added.

Trump's term of office was overshadowed for a long time by the "Russia affair".

Moscow has been accused of specifically supporting Trump's 2016 election victory.

Putin described his stance as a "formality" according to the report.

To

Russia's relations with the United States

, he is not worried, the Russian president said.

"There is nothing to damage, they are already ruined."

The

Republican governor of

the US state of Maryland has meanwhile described Trump's fight against the election results as increasingly "bizarre" and embarrassing.

The

US

was once a respected leader in the world of free elections "and now we're starting to look like a banana republic," said

Larry Hogan

on Sunday in an interview with the CNN news channel.

“It's time to stop the nonsense,” the Republican said.

Hogan had spoken out early on against Trump's course after the election defeat.

US election 2020: Trump wants to slow down the result in Swing State - Biden plans a big announcement for Tuesday

Update from November 22, 4:50 p.m.:

Donald Trump

wants to continue to defend his power in the White House with all (legal) means - but the elected new

President Joe Biden

is

carrying

out his program: Biden wants to introduce his first

cabinet members

on Tuesday

.

"You will see the first nominations of the cabinet of the elected president next Tuesday," said Biden's chief of staff designate Ron Klain on Sunday the broadcaster

ABC

.

Klain did not say which ministerial posts will be announced and who should take over the departments.

"You have to wait for the president-elect to say that himself on Tuesday."

On Saturday, Trump

failed

with a lawsuit in

Pennsylvania

.

Shortly before the decision, Trump's team filed a request to stop result certification in the

state of Michigan

.

There Biden had won the election with 155,000 votes ahead of Trump.

In a letter to the election management in Michigan, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel, and the head of the party association in Michigan, Laura Cox, demanded a two-week adjournment of the equal-representation body, which finally examines the election results before certification.

This should allow a "full investigation of the anomalies and irregularities" in the election, said McDaniel and Cox.

As in Pennsylvania, the results in Michigan should also be

officially confirmed on Monday

.

The state election officer,

Jocelyn Benson

, stressed on Twitter on Saturday that there was

"no evidence"

to justify questioning the election results.

“In short, 5.5 million people in Michigan voted.

The result of their choice is clear.

No evidence has emerged to undermine this, ”wrote Benson.

In a nutshell:


✅5.5m Michigan citizens voted ✅The results of their votes are clear


✅No evidence has emerged to undermine that


✅We have rules & laws in place to protect the integrity of our elections & the will of the voters


✅ Those rules & laws should govern the days ahead.

Update from November 22nd, 7.17 a.m.:

US President Donald Trump wanted to invalidate millions of votes in the US election.

Reason: alleged

"massive election fraud"

.

But he continues to suffer setbacks.

A federal court in Pennsylvania has given the incumbent president another defeat.

Trump's attorneys had only presented "tried legal arguments without value and speculative allegations" without evidence, wrote

Judge Matthew Brann

in a statement published on Saturday evening (local time) for his decision.

Trump and his team have suffered defeats in other lawsuits in Michigan, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania.

Trump's lawsuit also aimed to potentially invalidate millions of absentee votes.

The arguments and evidence presented would not even have been enough to invalidate the vote of "a single voter", wrote the judge.

"Our people, our laws and institutions demand more," he wrote.

2020 US election: Biden victory in Georgia confirmed - Trump requests recount

Biden's narrow election victory in

Georgia

has now been officially confirmed.

The responsible State Secretary Brad Raffensperger and Governor Brian Kemp certified the results on Friday afternoon.

Biden won the votes of the state's 16 electorate with a wafer-thin majority of 12,670 votes.

Because of the tight result, the state had initiated a recount.

As a result, Biden's lead had shrunk, before he had been in the lead with around 14,000 votes.

However, Trump still has until Tuesday to request another recount - and he did so on Saturday (November 21).

Trump's campaign team announced that the relevant

application

had been

submitted

on Saturday.

His lawyers said this was to ensure that every legal vote was counted.

Trump's legal team explained the request for a recount by insisting on an "honest counting of votes," which must include signature comparisons and other important protective measures.

“Let's stop giving wrong results to the people.

There has to be a time when we stop counting illegal ballots.

Hopefully he'll come soon, ”it said.

US election 2020: Republican party friends turn down Trump

Trump was

also unlucky with another

strategy

: Republican MPs and senators from the state of Michigan invited by him to the White House spoke out against attempts to alter the election results with legal tricks after the meeting.

The Republicans said they had no information yet that could change the election result.

They would therefore “follow the law and normal process” in appointing the electorate, said Senate and Chamber of Representatives Majority Leaders Mike Shirkey and Lee Chatfield.

“And the candidates who win the most votes win the election and the votes of the electorate,” they said.

US election 2020: Trump wants to contest election results

.: The incumbent US President

Donald Trump

wants to challenge the election results -

he has now failed

The

Georgia court also rejected

an attack by the plaintiff on

Trump has already suffered defeats in similar lawsuits in Michigan *, Pennsylvania * and Nevada *.

The narrow election victory of the Democrat Joe Biden in the

Swing State

has now been officially confirmed

2020 US election: Trump accuses Pfizer of deliberate delay in corona vaccines

Update from November 21st, 10:46 am

: "We had Big Pharma against us":

Donald Trump

still

does not

admit his election defeat against the US Democrat

Joe Biden

- but renews allegations that the pharmaceutical

company Pfizer

has published data on its future

corona -Vaccine

deliberately delayed

to harm

him in the

2020 US election

.

Originally, the pharmaceutical companies

wanted to present

their data in

October

, Trump said on Friday at a press conference in the White House.

"But they have decided to postpone it." The reason are his plans to

lower drug costs

, which he presented to the PK, said Trump.

According to him, the pharmaceutical lobby spent “millions of dollars” on advertising against him during the election campaign.

He spoke of "corrupt games".

If the pharmaceutical companies had announced their good results on the effectiveness of their vaccine candidates before the presidential election, this would have "probably had an impact" on the election, according to Trump, who at the same time reiterated that he was the candidate.

The elected

US president

did not

answer questions from journalists

US election 2020: result from Georgia finally here - now Biden Trump threatens with a lawsuit

Update from November 21, 7:21 a.m.:

Joe Biden's

election victory

in the US state of

Georgia

is officially confirmed.

The responsible State Secretary

Brad Raffensperger

officially certified the results, as

Governor Brian Kemp

said on Friday.

The further procedure stipulates that Kemp confirms the numbers within 24 hours and thus

instructs

the

16 electorate of

the state to vote for Joe Biden as president on December 14th.

The defeated President

Donald Trump

then has up to and including Tuesday

to request

a

recount of

the votes.

Several complaints by his lawyers against the election results were in Georgia, as in other states, in

court

failed.

Due to the tight result, Georgia had already carried out a check of the ballot paper itself: Biden's lead then shrank from around 14,000 to 12,670 votes, according to information on Friday.

The reason was that electoral commissions in two Republican-ruled districts had forgotten to include several thousand counted votes in the bill.

Kemp sharply criticized that there were irregularities to this extent.

Raffensperger had repeatedly emphasized in the past few days that no signs of election fraud had been found.

US election 2020: Joe Biden attacks Trump's behavior sharply

Update from November 20, 12.15 p.m.:

The elected 46th US President

Joe Biden

has again sharply attacked Trump's behavior.

The fact that

Donald Trump

does not

admit

his election defeat is an "unbelievable irresponsibility," said the Democrat during a press conference in his hometown of

Wilmington

.

Donald Trump is sending "incredibly harmful messages to the world about how democracy works." It is difficult to understand, Biden added, how this man thinks.

Joe Biden

promised

to enable

the

Trump administration to work

with his transition team through

legal means if necessary

.

The Democrat said that when asked.

However, since this is time-consuming, such a procedure is currently not being planned.

Update from November 20, 6:09 a.m

.: Defeat for

Donald Trump

, the incumbent US President: The embattled state of

Georgia

(see original message from November 19)

goes to the Democrat

Joe Biden

.

This has been confirmed by the authorities after the

recount of

the votes cast in the US presidential election.

According to this, the counting was done by hand - with the result "that the original machine counting of votes correctly reproduced the winner of the election", says

election manager Brad Raffensperger

on his website.

The recount took place because of the

extremely tight

election result (Biden had been ahead of Trump with only around 14,000 votes).

His lead is now around

12,200 votes

.

Still very scarce, which is why Trump

again

could apply for a recount, so Raffensperger, who emphasized on local television that no evidence of

electoral fraud

had been found.

Donald Trump is serious: the US President wants to have votes in Wisconsin counted again - with his own millions

Original message from November 19

: Washington - Democrat

Joe Biden

won 306 voters in the

2020 US election

.

You need at least 270. This makes Biden the elected US President.

But

Donald Trump

does not want to accept that and is taking legal action against the result.

His accusation:

election manipulation

.

There is no evidence of this.

Cyber ​​security chief Christopher Krebs,

who has now been fired by Donald Trump

, said it was the safest election in US history

.

Meanwhile, the Trump team had almost no success with its lawsuits against the election result in several states.

The question arises: What happens if Trump does not leave office?

Now it is

the turn of

the state of

Wisconsin

: The Democrat

Joe Biden *

prevailed with a lead of 20,470 votes (0.62 percent).

But the

Trump team

wants to partially challenge the election results in Wisconsin - and has provided three million dollars for a recount.

The state election commission announced on Wednesday.

This affects two electoral districts, in which, according to the Trump side, there were the most irregularities in the

US election

:

  • Dane County

    : Joe Biden is ahead with over 260,185 to 78,800 votes.

  • Milwaukee County

    : Joe Biden is ahead with 317,270 votes to 134,357.

After the 2020 US election: Donald Trump wants partial recount in Wisconsin

As reported by the

German Press Agency

, the cost of a recount would only be borne by the state if the lead is less than 0.25 percent.

If

Donald Trump *

had wanted to count the votes of the entire state again, he would have had costs of almost eight million dollars, according to the authorities.

The state of

is also prominently in the focus of the Trump side

Due to a tight election result, the votes were counted again there.

had won the state by a small margin.

According to

CNN, the

manual recount there is

almost complete.

Donald Trump: Human error revealed in Georgia - result remains the same for Joe Biden

The control revealed that thousands of votes were not included in the results - and Trump received more votes in Georgia than previously assumed.

A human error as the body responsible for organizing elections of State

at

CNN

stated.

However: "We have seen no signs of widespread fraud." In the state of

In their complaint, they demand that the results of the vote should not be confirmed and that the electorate should be appointed by the local parliament.
