Biden's Prime Time National Address Today
Possibility of Victory Declaration Amid Pennsylvania Lead
Trump Says "Never Give Up" in Consecutive Statements
[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate of the United States, is expected to deliver a nationwide address on the night of the 6th (local time). A victory declaration is anticipated.
A Biden campaign official told the Associated Press that Biden will give a speech that night in Wilmington, Delaware, where his residence is located. Vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris is also expected to speak together.
CNN reported that Biden will deliver a nationwide address during prime time that night, citing campaign officials who said it would be a victory speech. However, it added that this depends on the vote counting situation.
According to The New York Times, Biden has secured 253 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win so far. He will win if he takes just one or two of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, or Nevada.
Georgia, where Biden successfully made a comeback, has decided to conduct a recount, delaying the conclusion. In Pennsylvania, Biden is widening the gap after the comeback, so a victory declaration can be made once the vote counting there is completed.
President Donald Trump, after declaring his refusal to accept the election results at the White House a day earlier, continues to claim election fraud through Twitter and statements on this day as well.
In a statement released that day, President Trump said, "We will pursue this process in every legal aspect so that the American people can trust the government," and claimed, "I will never give up for you and our country."
