Donald Trump reiterated this Thursday that he was going to win the US presidential elections, which the Democrats are trying to "rob" him according to him, without providing any concrete evidence.

The president said in particular the vote count in Pennsylvania, where his lead over Joe Biden is shrinking hour by hour. This is also the case in Georgia.

"We have no doubt that when the recount ends, Senator Kamala Harris, her running mate and I will be declared winners," the former vice president said in a very short speech at her Wilmington, Delaware stronghold, without taking questions from reporters. .

This cleaning affects the states of Nevada, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, where the result of the votes is still uncertain.
In North Carolina and Pennsylvania, ballots that are postmarked before Election Day or Election Day may be counted, under state law, if received by November 6. In Nevada, they can be counted until November 10.
The USPS must perform the first sweep at these offices in the morning, no later than 10:00 a.m. and at the end of the afternoon, so that no ballot is forgotten. In accordance with current ordinance, the postal service must also report the number of ballots found during these cleanings and confirm that they were delivered on time.

Pennsylvania is one of five states whose vote is not yet known and could change the outcome of the presidential election.
Joe Biden, who on Thursday had 253 or 264 votes of the 270 needed for victory, depending on whether or not Arizona is included (11 votes), we will be sure of being the winner if his home state (20 votes) voted for the. If Republican Donald Trump wins, he will remain in the race, but still could not claim victory.
