Trump says election is ‘far from over’ as he finds out Joe Biden won while playing golf: 'I won this, by a lot'
An official statement from Donald Trump reads: “We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed."
"The simple fact is this election is far from over. 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. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media," read the statement.
According to him, the Trump campaign will begin indicting their case to "ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated." He then accused the Biden campaign of wanting ballots counted "even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters." Trump added: “So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands."
Trump first appeared today to play golf and he once again insisted that he "won this election". He lost the battle in this historic election as Biden took a lead in several swing states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona. But amid the legal squabbles and vehemence on the streets, Trump has today left the White House to play a round of golf at his course in Sterling, Virginia. Despite scrutinizing his predecessor Barack Obama for his love of the game, it has been estimated the Republican has enjoyed more than 300 rounds during his four years in office.
Trump crumbled after Biden took a lead in major states on Election night and since then has been posting explosive tweets against the election officials, Biden's campaign, and has also urged his supporters to dispute the impending result. He's alleged that the elections are rigged and asked for the vote count to stop in a series of tweets, leading to Twitter flagging them down for information. Trump repeated his uncorroborated claim that he won the elections after falling behind Biden in several states as postal ballots were counted. He tweeted: "I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!"
Before heading to the golf course and Biden being confirmed as the winner of the election, Trump continued his belligerent eloquence in a series of angry tweets. He claimed that vote counts were blocked by "tractors" despite the centers reportedly having independent observers inside during the process. Trump tweeted: "…Bad things took place during those hours where LEGAL TRANSPARENCY was viciously & crudely not allowed. "Tractors blocked doors & windows were covered with thick cardboard so that observers could not see into the count rooms. BAD THINGS HAPPENED INSIDE. BIG CHANGES TOOK PLACE!"

Meanwhile, a press conference led by former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani begins on Saturday, November 7 morning at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Giuliani called the situation "extremely troubling" as the civil rights case alleges that "President Trump's campaign was denied its right to fair count," according to a Sun report. He said the case will be filed in federal court. He said more than 50 court watchers will testify that they were "uniformly deprived of their right to inspect any single part of the mail-in ballots." Giuliani added: "There was zero security. The people of this country have no assurance of all that those ballots that were cast."
