Although Americans celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, the 2020 presidential election remained on the minds of many people. Millions of individuals traveled for the holiday and spent time with loved ones; however, the future of the nation still did not go without attention on Thursday.
Yesterday, President Trump spoke with the press regarding the 2020 presidential election. He talked about various reports of fraud, all of which his legal representatives are pursuing in a court of law. Sidney Powell, an attorney working independently of the Trump legal team, also used yesterday to bring forth lawsuits against the states of Michigan and Georgia.
Now, according to Newsmax, President Trump has declared that if the Electoral College certifies Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election, he will exit the White House.
