White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany on December 15 said that US President Donald Trump will continue his legal fight for re-election. On Monday, President-elect Joe Biden had sealed his electoral victory over Trump after gaining 306 electoral college votes. These votes, that aligned with the previous results called by major American media outlets, will now be sent to the Congress to be counted formally next month
Trump continues to repeatedly question the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s win and seeking recounts in several states, despite election officials have already certified the President-elect’s victory. Following the result, incumbent President also announced that Attorney General William Barr, who contradicted the outgoing president’s claims that November 3 election was marred by fraud, would leave his post next week. Further, after Supreme Court rejected to overturn the vote count in four swing states- Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Trump also accused the country’s highest judicial institution of having neither wisdom nor courage.
