-Claims US Election 2020 ‘rigged’
DM Monitoring
WASHINGTON: Republican President Donald Trump was seen edging toward accepting the victory of his Democrat rival, Joe Biden, and acknowledging his defeat but still claimed the US Election 2020 were “rigged”.
Railing against supposed mass fraud in the vote won by his challenger, Trump said Biden “won because the Election was Rigged”.
“No vote watchers or observers allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company,” Trump tweeted in his clearest admission of defeat to date.
“rigged election. we will win,” he reasserted, in his signature all-caps tweeting style.
Trump has refused to concede the election, and repeatedly said he intended to overturn the result through legal cases — though no evidence of mass fraud in the November US Election 2020 has been found.
He also keeps pushing “the Rigged Election Hoax”, saying his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, was “doing a great job exposing” his accusation of manipulation.
But the first two words of his Sunday tweet — two days after a slip in which he said “time will tell” if he remains president — seemed to bring him another step closer to admitting defeat.
Thousands of Trump supporters rallied in Washington on Saturday, backing his claims of fraud, with clashes erupting in the evening with rival protesters.
