Donald Trump declared victory in multiple key battleground States early Wednesday morning (4th November 2020) and went on to declare an overall victory, saying, "As far as I'm concerned, we already have won it." Trump’s claim to victory comes as many States have yet to be declared.
The current U.S President, speaking from the East Room of the White House, alongside First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence, thanked his supporters and touted "record" turnout for the Election. "I want to thank the American people for their tremendous support. Millions and millions of people voted for us tonight and a very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people and we will not stand for it," Trump said. "We won't stand for it." Trump hinted the White House would push the Supreme Court to rule over disputed ballots.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden's Campaign Manager, Jen O'Malley Dillon, said in a statement that Trump "does not decide the outcome of this election. Joe Biden does not decide the outcome of this election. The American people decide the outcome of this election. And the democratic process must and will continue until its conclusion."
Biden, speaking earlier in Wilmington, Delaware, said just after Midnight that he was "on track to win this Election." "Be patient," Biden told supporters. "It ain't over until every vote is counted—every ballot is counted." He added: "But we're feeling good, we're feeling good about where we are." Biden thanked supporters for their "patience," and urged them to "keep the faith, guys." "We're gonna win this," Biden said.
Trump was able to declare victory late Tuesday in battleground states of Florida, Ohio, and Iowa, and was able to clinch a big electoral win in traditionally red Texas, among other States, according to projections by Fox News. However, a number of key battleground States, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia and North Carolina, were too close to call.
"We won States we weren't expecting to win," Trump said. "Florida, we didn't win it, we won it by a lot." "We won the great State of Ohio, we won Texas…It is also clear that we have won Georgia," Trump said, despite that race not yet being called. "They're never gonna catch us. They can't catch us." The President said the same of North Carolina, saying he has "clearly won," and again, that "they can't catch us," despite that race, too, not yet being called. As for the race in Arizona, Fox News called it for his rival, Joe Biden. Trump’s Campaign, and the Governor of Arizona, argued that some Election Day votes still needed to be counted. "Arizona, we have a lot of life in that," Trump said. "Somebody declared victory, and maybe it will be, but certainly there were a lot of votes out there that we could get. We're now just getting into Trump territory and that could be overturned." Trump also said he was "winning" in Pennsylvania "by a tremendous amount of votes," despite votes still being counted there also. Speaking on the unprecedented scale of mail-in voting amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Trump said, "This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment on our country." Trump added that he predicted a legal battle, and said he has "been saying this since the day I heard there would be tens of millions of ballots sent." "We were getting ready to win the Election, frankly, we did win this Election," Trump said, adding that he wanted to "ensure the integrity" of the vote, and ensure the law is "used in a proper manner." "We'll be going to the U.S Supreme Court," Trump said. "We want all voting to stop. We don't want them to find any ballots at 4:00 in the morning and add them to the list." He added: "It's a very sad moment. To me, this is a very sad moment, and we will win this."
