Live: LIVE - US Presidential: Trump and Biden not yet decided
While the counting of the votes continues, Donald Trump had just said, from the White House, that he would win “
easily
” if “
the legal votes
” were counted, but that if we included “
the illegal votes
” , the Democrats could "
try to steal the election from us
."
Very quickly, the MSNBC channel ceased its live broadcast.
"Correct the President of the United States"
“
Okay, here we are again in the unusual position of (having to) not only interrupt the President of the United States, but also correct the President of the United States,
” said presenter Brian Williams.
NBC News and ABC News also interrupted the broadcast of this press conference, which was ultimately not one, since the president left the desk without taking any questions.
CNN has decided not to cut the microphone to Donald Trump, but its star host Jake Tapper followed with a final conviction of the head of state.
"
What a sad night for the United States of America to see its president (...) falsely accuse people of trying to steal the election,
" he said, lambasting a "
web of lies
" .
