The president, Donald Trump, reiterated this Sunday that the Democrats "stole" his re-election and that he will continue his battle to scrutinize the votes in key states of the contest.
However,
your legal options are exhausted,
according to experts.
In a series of messages on his account on the social network Twitter, Trump has repeated his complaints that this has been a "stolen election."
Twitter has placed warnings in each of the messages that its allegations of electoral fraud "have been disputed."

His personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, and other sources close to his campaign, have made it clear that they will
continue their battle in court
tomorrow, Monday, although they have not offered evidence of the alleged electoral fraud.
Two Republican senators and staunch allies of Trump, Lindsey Graham, for South Carolina, and Ted Cruz, for Texas, affirmed Sunday on the conservative Fox News network that the "race is in dispute", and that Trump must fight "for every legal vote and each vote in person ”.

However, most legal experts have explained that
there is no evidence of fraud
and it is unlikely that Trump's lawsuits will succeed in court.
Trump has become
the first president to lose re-election since 1992
- with the defeat of Republican George HW Bush against Democrat Bill Clinton - by failing to get the necessary 270 minimum votes from the Electoral College.

There is no constitutional requirement for him to admit defeat, although it is part of the political tradition in the United States and the process of transition and alternation in the country.
It would be the first time that a sitting president has refused to do so in the modern history of the country
.
Democrats Al Gore and Hillary Clinton did so in 2000 and 2016, respectively, even though their base also complained of fraud and theft of a legitimate election.

Giuliani led a press conference on Saturday to expose this strategy.
It did not turn out as expected, however, as they arrived at the wrong address, and instead of a luxurious hotel they ended up in the parking lot of a landscaping company in Philadelphia.
This soon sparked reactions and memes on social media and earned him a parody on the popular 'Saturday Night Live' comedy show.
The chorus of Republicans asking Trump to accept defeat grows stronger with the days.
Former Republican President George W. Bush did so on Sunday, expressing his support for President-elect Biden and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris.
"Although we have political differences, I know that Joe Biden is a good man, who earned his opportunity to lead and unify our country," Bush said in a statement.
Bush clarified that Trump "has the right" to carry out recounts and legal challenges, but suggested that the efforts will likely not be successful.
"The American people can trust that this election has been fundamentally fair, that its integrity will be maintained, and that its outcome is clear," he added.
"We must unite for the good of our families and neighbors, and for our nation and its future."
