Outgoing US President Donald Trump continues to insist that there was cheating in the election in which Joe Biden defeated him.
It has been two days since all major US media organizations united in projecting that Biden was the winner of the election. Leaders around the world have also recognized Biden’s victory.
But Trump still does not concede and continues to tease on social media that he was cheated on, and he really won the election.
There are also rumors that he is being encouraged to concede by his wife Melania and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, his daughter Ivanka’s husband.
This week, Trump’s legal team will formally file complaints against the alleged election anomaly.
Meanwhile, President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are preparing for their administration after their victory speeches on Saturday.
“On Monday, I will name a group of leading scientists and experts as transition advisors to help take the Biden-Harris COVID plan and convert it into an action blueprint that will start on January the 20th, 2021. That plan will be built on bedrock science. It will be constructed out of compassion, empathy, and concern. I will spare no effort, none, or any commitment to turn around this pandemic,” said Biden.
Trump, some Fil-Am Republicans do not want to accept Biden’s victory
Aside from quick action in the pandemic, Biden also vowed to fix Trump’s anti-immigrant policies.
According to an immigration law expert, this will immediately help Filipino-Americans.
“I think there’s going to be prosecutorial discretion, giving emphasis on family unity instead of family separation. I’m also seeing in the future, or after January, when the the delays in family petitions will be remedied,” said Lou Tancinco, an immigration lawyer.
For Trump’s Fil-Am supporters, they are sad and angry, but they still will not give up.
“Obviously there’s a mixture of sadness, disappointment, but also one of anger… People are very, very interested in what can we do… Do we contribute money, do we fight for the legal defense, do we protest, or what?” said Brunswick, Ohio mayor Ron Falconi, a Republican.
