US President and Republican Party nominee Donald Trump claimed victory in 2020 US Presidential Election. Addressing his supporters, Trump said he will move the Supreme Court to stop vote counting to “protect the integrity of the election system.”
Acknowledging that the reds may lose Arizona this time, Trump dismissed the “need” to win the state.
"A very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise the people who voted, but we won’t stand for it. Citizens have come out in record numbers - we won Florida by a lot; we won Texas. We have a lot of life left in Arizona but we don’t need it. We are winning Pennsylvania," he said.

Trump began his address saying he wanted to thank Americans for voting or him, stating: “We are winning everything.”
“I want to thank the American people for voting for us. I want to thank my entire family and the vice president. We were winning everything. Such a vote, such a success. There has never been anything like this. We won Ohio, we won Texas by 700,000 votes. It’s clear that we have won Georgia,” Donald Trump claimed.
Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said the results of the election may not be known until Wednesday morning or later but he is optimistic of the outcome.
