President Donald Trump on Sunday night declared he “will win” the 2020 election as several battleground states are set to certify the election results on Monday.
Trump’s prediction came in a tweet filled with conspiracy theories, claiming on Sunday night that “there were more votes than people who voted” and blaming “fake ballots” for his defeat.
“In certain swing states, there were more votes than people who voted, and in big numbers. Does that not really matter? Stopping Poll Watchers, voting for unsuspecting people, fake ballots and so much more. Such egregious conduct. We will win!” the president wrote on Twitter in his last-ditch effort to cling to power.
Trump’s tweet comes as key states are on the brink of certifying their election results, officially confirming Joe Biden as the President-elect.
