‘This election is far from over’: Trump dismisses news agencies’ call of race for Biden

“The simple fact is this election is far from over,” Trump said in a statement Saturday. “Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.”

Trump was at his Virginia golf club on Saturday morning as news emerged that media organizations were forecasting a Biden win. Agencies, including the Associated Press, called the election after ballots counted in Pennsylvania suggested there was no chance of Trump taking the state and collecting the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory.

For four years, Trump has tweeted and litigated his way through government, and he fought the closing stages of the election in the same way. His team spent the 72 hours after Election Day laying the groundwork for a string of legal challenges to results.

The plan is to fight for everything, said a senior campaign adviser.

At the same time, however, another camp within the White House has begun quietly trying to prepare the president for the prospect of defeat.

On Saturday, Trump said more legal challenges would be launched on Monday and accused his opponent of rushing to declare victory.

So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American people have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.

However, legal experts suggest the president has little chance of overturning enough votes to make a difference.

I expect the Dems will display the characteristic graciousness in victory that they did throughout the campaign.
