Trump says 'we're winning this election' initially post-poll rally
Donald Trump launched into another litany of baseless claims that the US presidential election was first stolen from him in his first post-poll rally on Saturday (Sunday in Malaysia), showing the crowd he'd still finish up winning.
"We're winning this election," Trump said at the rally in Valdosta, Georgia, adding soon after that "we will still win it."
"It's rigged. It's a set deal," he said of President-elect Joe Biden's victory.
Despite surging situations of Covid-19 nationwide, few masks could possibly be experienced at the rally and several in the crowd were not abiding by physical distancing measures.
Trump was first joined by first lady Melania Trump, who have gave a brief speech prior to the president's.
The former reality show star was campaigning in Georgia with respect to two Republican Senate prospects facing a hugely important runoff on Jan 5.
The runoff races will determine which party controls the US Senate, and Trump continued his fear-mongering about rival Democrats.
"The voters of Georgia will determine which get together works every committee, writes every little bit of legislation, controls each and every taxpayer dollar," he said.
"Very merely, you will decide whether your kids will grow up in a socialist country or whether they will grow up in a free country."
There had been concerns from most Republicans above whether Trump's continuing claims of fraud would lower voter turnout among Republicans in the upcoming election, making his appearance relatively of a gamble.
Trump made clear he was neither ready to concede to Biden nor give up his baseless statements of fraud dismissed by an extended line of courts.
Biden won Georgia by simply in 12,000 votes, turning out to be the first Democratic presidential applicant since Bill Clinton found in 1992 to win the Republican stronghold. - AFP
