[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] U.S. President Donald Trump accused the Republican Party of not helping him overturn the presidential election results.

On the 26th (local time), President Trump wrote on his Twitter account, "If the Democratic presidential candidate had experienced election fraud with unprecedented levels of evidence and had the election stolen, Democratic senators would consider it an act of war and fight until death."

He then criticized, "Mitch McConnell, the Republican Senate Majority Leader, and the Republicans want to do nothing and just let it pass," adding, "They do not fight."

President Trump lost not only the indirect presidential election but also the state-by-state Electoral College vote. Congress will certify the state-by-state Electoral College vote results and announce the winner at a joint session of the House and Senate on January 6 next year.

In the Electoral College vote, President-elect Joe Biden secured 306 electoral votes, decisively defeating President Trump, who received 232 votes.

The joint session is President Trump's last chance to seek a reversal. There is a contestation procedure to object to the Electoral College vote.

If at least one member each from the Senate and the House objects to the Electoral College vote of a specific state, each chamber votes separately, and if both chambers conclude there is a problem, that state's electoral votes are excluded from the count. If either the House or Senate rejects the objection, it is not recognized.

President Trump also criticized the Department of Justice and the Supreme Court.

He said, "The Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did nothing about the biggest fraud in our country's history, the 2020 election voter fraud, despite overwhelming evidence," adding, "They should be ashamed."

In another tweet, President Trump targeted the federal Supreme Court, writing, "The U.S. Supreme Court was completely incompetent and weak regarding the massive election fraud that occurred in the 2020 election," and "We have solid evidence, but they do not want to see it."
