Trump's Launching Into Legal Action On Monday To Ensure The 'Rightful Winner Is Seated'

On Saturday, November 7, Joe Biden was reported to be the new president-elect of The United States after a drawn-out vote-counting process that began on November 3. Following the reports, Trump's reaction was nowhere to be found. 

While politicians including Justin Trudeau and Jason Kenney came forward online to congratulate Biden — Donald Trump, has remained relatively silent. 

Though, Trump did reportedly release a written statement that has been shared across several outlets.

CTV News shared Trump's statement. "The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots," it said. 

He opened the statement by saying that Biden is “rushing to falsely pose as the winner” and that the media is assisting these efforts. “Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.”

Throughout the counting process, Donald Trump has taken to Twitter on several occasions to express his distrust in the mail-in ballots. 

He also tweeted on the same day Biden was reported to have won, saying that he was, in fact, the winner. 

"I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!" he wrote.
