While President Donald Trump busies himself with his apoplectic rejection of Joe Biden as president-elect, world leaders have swiftly moved on. In a sign of Biden's legitimacy, leaders of major democracies have stepped up to congratulate the President-elect Joe Biden in recent days. Doubtless salt to his wound, Trump's favorite network--Fox News--and media outlets across the board have also declared Biden the projected winner of the election. Business Insider reports that as a whole, EU leaders and even Israel and Turkey have congratulated Biden. Only Russia's Vladimir Putin, China's Xi Xing Ping, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro have yet to join in.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has a ready response in case President Donald Trump spreads misinformation about the election. According to Business Insider, Biden will declare victory if news organizations announce him as the winner of the presidential election on Tuesday night. Campaign advisers say Biden wants to avoid taking a defensive posture if Trump moves forward with lawsuits. We're not really concerned about what Donald Trump says. We're going to use our data, our understanding of where this is headed, and make sure that the vice president is addressing the American people. Jen O'Malley Dillon Biden campaign manager Trump has privately vowed to declare himself the winner Tuesday night if it looks like he's leading the race. But on Tuesday morning, the president told 'Fox & Friends' that he'd declare himself the winner 'if' and 'when' 'there is victory.'
For months, President Donald Trump has trailed Democratic opponent Joe Biden in the polls. At the same time, Trump has incessantly stirred fears of widespread voter fraud, despite consistently being rebutted by election officials. Now, Business Insider reports Trump told supporters at a closed-door event in Nashville that his campaign expects to dispute individual ballots. Millions of Americans have cast their ballots by post as the coronavirus continues to sweep the US. In several states, the GOP argues ballots received after Election Day should not be counted. In others, signature verification is expected to be a key issue. A Trump campaign official says the campaign has 8,500 lawyers on standby to 'sue if we need to.'
