Biden for President Campaign Manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said Trump’s statement about the legitimacy of yet-to-be-counted ballots “was outrageous, unprecedented, and incorrect”
“It was outrageous because it is a naked effort to take away the democratic rights of American citizens,” she said.
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed that he has already won the 2020 presidential election in an address to supporters and family at the White House.
As polls were closing across the country after voting ended for one of the most-anticipated presidential elections, Trump thanked his family and all those who voted for his re-election in his opening remarks, the BBC reported.

“We were getting ready for a big celebration. We were winning everything.”
Trump also celebrated his big win in Florida, considered a make or break state to determine the outcome of the election.
“We didn’t win it, we won it by a lot,” he sid.
He also claimed a lead in Pennsylvania, similarly like his Democratic rival Joe Biden did earlier on election night.
But it was still too early to determine a winner in the state.
