Spanish – The president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced through his Twitter account that he has achieved a great victory and warned that they want to steal the election from him. The social network soon censored the message.
“I will be making a statement tonight. A big win!” said the candidate for reelection after the victory in Florida was made official. He immediately added, “We are up big, but they are trying to steal the election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the polls are closed!”
A few minutes later, Twitter objected to one of the president’s messages, calling it content that “might be misleading.”
I will be making a statement tonight. A big WIN!

The Republican leader went ahead to announce his victory after irregularities began to be recorded in the count. In Georgia and Pennsylvania, where the Democratic candidate was initially leading, the count was stopped shortly after the result was turned around, and the trend was favorable to Trump.
Trump’s vote count
With 82% of the votes, Trump has a lead of over 5% in Georgia. In Pennsylvania, Trump’s lead is close to 14%, with 64% of the votes counted. Additionally, the Republican is 4% ahead of his rival in Wisconsin, with 85% of the votes reported. In Michigan, the lead for Trump is close to 9%, with 62 percent of the vote. And in North Carolina, the president leads by about 2% with 94% of the vote.
These five states with no official result yet but a clear lead for the Republican- total of 77 electoral votes. So far, Trump has 213 electoral votes awarded. With the 77 electoral votes provided by these five states in which he has a clear advantage, he exceeds the minimum required to proclaim himself the winner.
Donald Trump would be reaching 290 electoral votes with these five states. However, there is still Alaska, traditionally Republican, and where Trump already has a clear advantage. Alaska has three electoral votes. In total, Donald Trump could be reaching re-election with at least 293 electoral votes.
Arizona and Nevada are also in the counting process. In these two states, the Democratic Party is leading the way. However, Biden would not have enough votes to reach the required minimum of 270.
