Today’s announcement by the president: Trump does not raise the white...

Al-Akhbar writes under the headline “Trump does not raise the white flag: America is in crisis”: “In the light of the conditions of the country, the US presidential election appears: in crisis. The very close results between the two competing candidates Donald Trump and Joe Biden showed the enormous polarization in the United States The outgoing president’s base clings to its candidate, in parallel with the absence of blue tsunamis that “false” opinion polls promised to happen. The declaration of itself as president for a second term, before the completion of the counting of votes. This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it does not seem that the Democratic Party’s reliance on the weapon of the epidemic crisis to confront and limit the tsunami red waves has had an outcome, which leads to the conclusion that A balanced sector of Americans did not abandon Trump, nor did he give him the kind of absolute support he was hoping for.

No matter the name of the winner, confrontation lines have been drawn that will continue. Yesterday, at dawn, Trump announced his victory in the elections, while the vote counting process was continuing, especially in the six states where the outcome of the battle depends on its results. In a tumultuous move, the US President said that the time has come for a “big celebration,” anticipating the results of the remaining states, which seemed to favor some of them outweighing the rival.Competition has never been so close or intense than it appears today; Trump and Biden are walking shoulder to shoulder in the key states that are supposed to determine the identity of the winner in elections that witnessed a record turnout, after 160 million Americans cast their votes with an estimated participation rate of 66.9%, compared to 59.2% in 2016, according to US Elections Project. At the conclusion of an election campaign marked by unprecedented intensity and overshadowed by the crisis of the “Corona” epidemic, the partial results show that voters did not ostracize the Republican president as polls expected, which proves that Trump’s base, even in the event of his loss, is still loyal to him, which opens things up In all likelihood, the first is their rejection of the result, in case he loses. Trump, who early began questioning the results and the way votes are being counted in some major states, wrote in a tweet: “Yesterday evening (Tuesday), I was a lead in many major states,” adding, “After that, one after the other, I started to magically disappear with Sudden election cards appear and count. ” Trump secured his victory in 23 states, keeping Florida, which he had won in 2016, and Ohio, which he had won since 1964, won all of the candidates who reached the presidency. He also won Texas, the once-seemingly under threatening Republican stronghold. Biden won in 23 states. Most notably California, New York, Minnesota and Arizona, in addition to the decisive Wisconsin and Michigan, whose results were revealed yesterday evening. The election scene reversed after Biden advanced in Michigan, winning 264 of the electoral college votes, compared to 214 votes for Trump. And while the Democratic candidate appears closer to winning (he needs six votes to win the necessary number of 270 electoral college votes to enter the White House), he must still win Nevada (6 votes), whose officials have said they will resume counting today. And if that state votes in his favor, he could win the presidency, after he added Michigan and Wisconsin to the states he won. The result has not yet been decided in two southern states, Georgia and North Carolina, where Trump leads, in addition to Pennsylvania. Biden winning any of the three states would mean the absence of any opportunity for Trump. The most likely path for a Republican candidate is through the Supreme Court. The latter needs to win Pennsylvania (20 votes), Georgia (16 votes), North Carolina (15), and Alaska (3 votes), to get a total of 269 votes in the electoral college, which is still a possibility, but it will mean that Trump, Who originally refuses defeat, will not accept the victory of his opponent, and will submit a petition for a recount in a non-state because of the almost equal result. All eyes are on the counting of votes in Pennsylvania, one of the most prominent states that usually determine the identity of the winner of the US presidential elections, especially after it has become the arena for an upcoming judicial battle between Trump and Biden. According to the rules adopted by the state and upheld by the US Supreme Court, it is theoretically entitled to count the votes received by mail within three days after the elections, that is, until Friday. ”Read the full article Press here.
