Iran Press/ America: As Donald Trump continues to refuse to concede the US presidential election he lost last week to Democratic rival Joe Biden and insists on Twitter “WE WILL WIN”, his deputy, vice president Mike Pence, is jetting out for Florida on a "personal trip" rather than join the legal battle against the swing states that rejected their ticket.
Trump’s senior campaign adviser Jason Miller has told Fox Business the word “concede” is not part of his side’s vocabulary as he vowed to press ahead with objections to results in states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, the Independent reported.
The president has meanwhile accused the Democratic Party and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of conspiring to delay the announcement of Pfizer and BioNTech’s potential coronavirus vaccine until after last week’s vote in order to prevent him from claiming a win for his embattled administration.
At the same time, the US Justice Department's top election crimes prosecutor resigned Monday in protest after Attorney General William Barr told federal prosecutors that they should examine allegations of voting irregularities before states move to certify results in the coming weeks.
