The son-in-law and senior aide to US President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, suggested that the incumbent head of state admit defeat in the presidential election, CNN reports citing sources.
According to the TV channel, Kushner took this step after leading American media announced the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden, and Trump, in turn, demanded a recount and said that "the race is far from over."
Earlier, Joe Biden announced his victory in an address to the nation . Biden promised to "restore the soul of America" and restore respect for the United States throughout the world.
Biden's victory in the elections was announced on the eve of AP, CNN, NBC, pro-republican FOX News and other leading American media. The superiority in Pennsylvania allowed Biden to surpass the 270 electoral college vote required to win, they said. According to CNN, the Democratic candidate currently has 279 votes, while incumbent President Donald Trump has 214.
Biden has already been congratulated on his victory by the leaders of many countries, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and others.
On November 4, Trump accused the Democratic Party of trying to rig elections. He expressed surprise at the fact that Democratic candidate Joe Biden took the lead in several states at night, while losing during the day.
In addition, the head of the White House warned that, if necessary, he was ready to apply to the Supreme Court with a claim to invalidate the ballots sent by mail, since these votes in the vacillating states were received mainly by Biden. Trump's office believes the mailed ballots may have been tampered with by Democrats.
