Donald Trump claims attempts to overturn the election will “go forward”, even as the electoral college gets set to lock in Joe Biden’s win.

“This wasn’t like a close election,” Mr Trump insisted. “You look at Georgia. We won Georgia big. We won Pennsylvania big. We won Wisconsin big. We won it big.”

Mr Trump said he worries about the US “having an illegitimate president” due to alleged fraud. “What happened to this country is we were like a third world country,” he later said.“I don’t want to talk about that,” he said.Mr Trump also railed against the Supreme Court for refusing to hear the case where Texas claimed that Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin unconstitutionally changed their election statutes via judiciary or executive fiat rather than their legislatures.

“The Supreme Court, all they did is say we don’t have standing,” Mr Trump said. “So they’re saying essentially the president of the United States and Texas and these other states, great states, they don’t have standing.” Mr Trump himself was not a party to the case. The Supreme Court explained their decision, stating that “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognisable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections”.
