Donald Trump talks about Joe Biden’s victory for the first time

 

Eight days after the announcement of the presidential results, Donald Trump has still not acknowledged his defeat to Joe Biden. But, by small touches, or successive lapsus, he approaches it. “He won because the election was rigged,” he tweeted Sunday morning, referring to the former vice-president of Barack Obama.

Certainly, the American president has once again put forward the hypothesis of massive fraud, which no concrete element comes to accredit. But the first two words of his tweet (“He won”) grabbed attention, as it was the first time he said them since the results were announced.

 

On Friday, he had for the first time mentioned, in a hint, the victory of his Democratic opponent by suggesting, before resuming himself, that he would no longer be there after January 20 to manage the coronavirus crisis.

The “safest election in US history”

All-state results have now been announced by major US television stations. Joe Biden won 306 voters, against 232 for the outgoing president, the reverse score of the victory of the Republican billionaire (who then spoke of a “tidal wave”) against Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Several local and national electoral authorities, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), directly contradicted the president on his accusations of fraud. “The November 3 election was the safest in the history of the United States,” they said in a joint statement.

“There is no evidence of a voting system having erased, lost or changed ballots, or having been hacked in any way,” they added.
