President Donald Trump on Wednesday falsely claimed that he had won the U.S. election with millions of votes still uncounted after his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, said he was confident of winning a contest that will not be resolved until a handful of states complete vote-counting over the next hours or days.
Vice President Mike Pence says he believes “as you do, that we are on the road to victory and we will make America Great Again, again.”
In his televised statement, Trump said they are going to the Supreme Court to prevent “them finding new ballots at 4’o clock in the morning.”
“We will win this and as far as I’m concerned, we already have,” he says.
It is pertinent to note that the US Supreme Court has six judges appointed by the Republicans versus three appointed by Democrats.
Here are the main highlights from his statement:
Want to thank the American people for their support
A very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise the people who voted, we won’t stand for it
Citizens have come out in record numbers
We won Florida by a lot
We won Texas, Ohio
It is also clear that we have won Georgia
We have a lot of life left in Arizona but we don’t need it
We are winning Pennsylvania
We had such a big night
This is a fraud on the American people
Frankly we did win this election
We will be going to the US SC
We want all voting to stop
We will win this
As far as I’m concerned, we already have won
