The Trump campaign have long alleged that the absentee ballot system was corrupt. Trump's supports have argued that votes were cast illegally or completely fabricated altogether. However, no evidence has been uncovered to support these claims.
Donald Trump paid $3 million towards the two recounts in Wisconsin, having initially lost to Biden by thousands of votes in the state.
Speaking to Forbes.com, Biden spokesperson Mike Gwin said: "Once more, Donald Trump's debunked claims of widespread voter fraud utterly fail to withstand scrutiny - just like they haven't held up in court in the over 35 cases they've lost since Election Day."
Biden's overall lead across the United States now sits at 6.2 million votes. Percentage-wise, he has won 51.1% of the popular vote, compared to Trump's 47.2%.
Trump campaign spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany recently had her press conference taken off air by Fox News for spouting unsubstantiated claims that the presidential election was rigged.Explore more on these topics:
