Trump campaign release statement after Biden takes crucial lead in Pennsylvania

Trump’s campaign have made more baseless claims of voter fraud

Donald Trump’s campaign have issued a statement after Joe Biden took a crucial lead in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Biden winning Pennsylvania would take him beyond the 270 mark in electoral college votes and thus secure him victory in the presidential election.

CNN, Vox and other outlets have projected that Biden will win the state, but Trump’s campaign are digging their heels in, demanding recounts in various states and refuse to accept defeat.

“This election is not over,” the statement read.

“The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final. Georgia is headed for a recount, where we are confident we will find ballots improperly harvested, and where Trump will ultimately prevail.”

It continues: “There were many irregularities in Pennsylvania, including having election officials prevent our volunteer legal observers from having meaningful access to vote counting locations.

“We prevailed in court on our challenge, but were deprived of valuable time and denied the transparency we are entitled to under state law.

“In Nevada, there appear to be thousands of individuals who improperly cast mail ballots. Finally, the president is on course to win Arizona outright, despite the irresponsible and erroneous ‘calling’ of the state for Biden by Fox News and the Associated Press.

“Biden is relying on these states for his phony claim on the White House, but once this election is final, President Trump will be re-elected.”

It’s funny, isn’t it, how these supposedly illegal votes only take place in key states that Trump is losing.

We should reiterate once again, that Trump has provided no evidence for his claims listed above.
