[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] As Donald Trump, the President of the United States, saw his lead in battleground states begin to reverse overnight, he expressed strong dissatisfaction and hinted at the possibility of rejecting the election results.

On the 4th (local time), President Trump tweeted, "Last night I was ahead in states controlled by the Democrats. Then, as surprise ballots were counted, they started to disappear one by one like magic. Very strange. The 'polls' were completely and historically wrong!"

President Trump further questioned in a separate tweet, "Why are they so destructive every time they count mail-in ballots?"

Earlier that day, after claiming victories in Florida and Texas and taking a large lead in major battleground states, President Trump emphasized that mail-in ballot counting should be stopped.

In response, Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, who had also taken a tough stance to wait and watch the counting results overnight, tweeted around the same time as President Trump, "We will not rest until every vote is counted."

Jen O'Malley Dillon, Biden's campaign manager, and Bob Bauer, senior advisor, are conducting a video briefing on the current vote counting situation.
