inquisitr--2020-11-01--Donald Trump Reportedly Plans To Declare Victory Before All Votes Are Counted

President Donald Trump has told advisers that he plans to declare victory in the 2020 presidential election before all the votes are counted , Axios reported .
According to the publication ’ s sources , in private conversations with confidants , Trump has suggested that he ’ ll declare victory on election night if it looks like he is “ ahead ” of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden .
The commander-in-chief has reportedly “ talked through this scenario in some detail , ” telling advisers that he may walk up to a podium on Tuesday evening and declare himself victorious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would need to have early commanding leads in states like Iowa , Arizona , Texas , Georgia , Ohio , North Carolina and Florida .
Because of the coronavirus pandemic , millions of Americans will cast their ballots via mail , which means that the votes cast in person will be counted first .
In some states , like Pennsylvania , law prevents officials from counting mail-in ballots before Election Day , which suggests that Americans may have to wait for weeks to know who won in key battlegrounds .
“ If it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also be true for other states , given the record numbers of Americans who voted by mail this year , ” the report said .
As Axios noted , Republicans have spent weeks trying to cast doubt on the legitimacy of mail-in voting , laying the groundwork for this strategy .
In a recent interview , senior Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller expressed confidence about the president ’ s electoral prospects , predicting more than 290 electoral votes for the commander-in-chief and claiming that Democrats are “ just going to try to steal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reporting from The New York Times .
On Saturday , the publication reported on Trump ’ s alleged plan to steal another term in the White House .
Trump has repeatedly refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power , fueling speculation that he may refuse to leave office peacefully .
Per CNN , on at least eight occasions , he suggested that he would refuse to leave the White House should he lose .
Democrats have allegedly come up with multiple plans to counter Trump if he tries to cling on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden ’ s team has hired a team of lawyers to help in legal battles .

Update: President Trump has since denied the idea that he would declare victory before all votes have been counted, calling it a “false report.”
“We’ll see what happens. I think it’s a terrible thing when ballots can be collected after an election. I think it’s a terrible thing when people or states are allowed to tabulate ballots for a long period time after the election is over,” he told reporters.
President Donald Trump had reportedly told advisers that he plans to declare victory in the 2020 presidential election before all the votes are counted, according to Axios.
According to the publication’s sources, in private conversations with confidants, Trump suggested that he’ll declare victory on election night if it looks like he is “ahead” of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
The commander-in-chief reportedly “talked through this scenario in some detail,” telling advisers that he may walk up to a podium on Tuesday evening and declare himself victorious.
To execute his plan, Trump would need to have early commanding leads in states like Iowa, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina and Florida.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, millions of Americans will cast their ballots via mail, which means that the votes cast in person will be counted first.
In some states, like Pennsylvania, law prevents officials from counting mail-in ballots before Election Day, which suggests that Americans may have to wait for weeks to know who won in key battlegrounds.
“If it’s a close race this could also be true for other states, given the record numbers of Americans who voted by mail this year,” the report said.
As Axios noted, Republicans have spent weeks trying to cast doubt on the legitimacy of mail-in voting, laying the groundwork for this strategy.
In a recent interview, senior Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller expressed confidence about the president’s electoral prospects, predicting more than 290 electoral votes for the commander-in-chief and claiming that Democrats are “just going to try to steal it back.”
This seems to confirm reporting from The New York Times. On Saturday, the publication reported on Trump’s alleged plan to steal another term in the White House.
“Trump advisers said their best hope was if the president wins Ohio and Florida is too close to call early in the night, depriving Mr. Biden a swift victory and giving Mr. Trump the room to undermine the validity of uncounted mail-in ballots in the days after.”
Trump has repeatedly refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power, fueling speculation that he may refuse to leave office without issue. Per CNN, on at least eight occasions, he suggested that he would refuse to leave the White House should he lose.
Democrats have allegedly come up with multiple plans to counter Trump if he tries to cling on to power. In addition, Joe Biden’s team has reportedly hired a team of lawyers to help in legal battles.

Final 2020 Presidential Polls, High Turnout Shows ‘Recipe For A Blowout’ In Favor Of Joe Biden, Pundit Says

The final 2020 presidential polls and the high early turnout show a “ recipe for a blowout ” in favor of Joe Biden , a political pundit says .
Amy Siskind , a political commentator and prominent critic of U.S. President Donald Trump , took to Twitter to share her assessment of the final round of polling ahead of Election Day .
She cited an NBC News/WSJ poll that showed Biden holding onto the double-digit lead that he had taken in the closing weeks of the campaign .
As CNBC noted , the 10-point lead for Biden was largely the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the month of October that showed him with an 11-point advantage .
The report added that 92 million Americans have already cast ballots for this year ’ s election , more than two-thirds the number of total votes cast in 2016 .

“ Biden maintaining a stable lead in final days +10 in NBC/WSJ poll .
In early voting the turnout is double of what it was in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the issue of low turnout , ” she wrote .
She added that just 6 percent of voters were undecided this year , while 16 percent had not yet chosen a candidate in 2016 at the time Hillary Clinton was rocked with the leak of a letter from FBI Director James Comey announcing that the FBI was investigating new emails .
Many pundits believe that letter was the motivation behind late movement to Trump , while Siskind pointed out that this race has been largely stable .
Early voting has been high in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , including Texas , where the Biden campaign is looking to flip the once deep-red state and make a path to victory nearly impossible for Trump .
As New York magazine reported , voting numbers have already exceeded the 2016 election , with strong signs for Biden ’ s chances .
“ The ( very ) good news for Joe & Co. is that the state ’ s urban and suburban counties have been the primary drivers of the turnout spike , with Harris County ( home to Houston ) mounting an especially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Friday , pointing out that 1.4 million people had already cast ballots in the populous Harris County .

As noted by Morning Consult reporter Eli Yokley on Twitter, Biden has also had success with females not named Karen.
“Our final pre-election poll finds Biden leading Trump, 54% to 41%, among women likely voters, compared to Clinton’s 49% to 47% lead of Trump among women in 2016, per our exits at the time.”
Per Global News, the name “Karen” has become slang for “privileged white women who raise trivial complaints with others.” A Business Insider piece echoed these sentiments and outlined some common behaviors attributed to the pop-culture term.
“A quick social media search yields numerous behaviors attributed to someone labeled a ‘Karen,’ including refusing to wear a mask amid the pandemic, entitlement to public space, fearing people of color, and opposing the Black Lives Matter movement.”
Nevertheless, the publication argued that the New York Times report proves that the name represents a “good cross-section of women over the age of 40,” which means that memes aside, the data could be a good sign for the Democrat.

Donald Trump Accuses Joe Biden Of Being A ‘Castro Puppet,’ Though The Cuban Leader Has Been Dead Since 2016

Donald Trump is making his closing election argument by apparently accusing Joe Biden of being a puppet of Fidel Castro , even though the Cuban leader has been dead for close to four years .
The president took to Twitter on Sunday to level the charge , appearing to claim that his opponent was under the influence of the former world leader .
It has been a regular line of attack for Trump , who has repeatedly claimed that the Democratic candidate is under the thumb of forces on the far left who would then control him as president .

Some believe that Trump may have been referring to Raúl Castro , who succeeded his brother back in 2011 .
The current head of Cuba ’ s ruling communist regime has not been commonly referred to by his last name , however .
Trump had made similar attacks against Biden in the closing weeks of the campaign , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to paint Biden as a pawn of the far left .
“ Joe Biden is a PUPPET of CASTRO-CHAVISTAS like Crazy Bernie , AOC and Castro-lover Karen Bass , ” Trump tweeted on October 10 .
“ Biden is supported by socialist Gustavo Petro , a major LOSER and former M-19 guerrilla leader .
Biden is weak on socialism and will betray Colombia .
I stand with you !

The state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the key battlegrounds in the 2020 race , is home to a significant contingent of Cuban-American voters , and Republicans have made direct appeals to this voting bloc .
As Slate noted in September , Trump and Republicans have tried to tie the Democratic candidate to the Castro communist regime .

A large group of Donald Trump supporters in their vehicles shut down the northbound express lanes on New Jersey’s Garden State Parkway on Sunday, causing a traffic jam that reportedly went for miles.
A video posted on Twitter by Breaking 911 showed cars backed up as Trump supporters got out of their vehicles to wave flags and demonstrate support for their candidate.
Many were wearing red Make America Great Again hats and some stood on their cars to wave Trump and thin blue line flags, which are black-and-white American flags with a single blue line in the middle meant to characterize the “thin blue line” between order and chaos. Some characterize the flags as being anti-Black Lives Matter.
Pundits and celebrities on social media were quick to call out the move. Jon Cryer, who starred in Pretty in Pink and Two and a Half Men, questioned the logic in blocking traffic.
Shutting down a highway makes sense as civil disobedience, but what are they protesting? That their guy is president? https://t.co/2NTNOatMh4 — Jon Cryer (@MrJonCryer) November 1, 2020

“A civil war is raging between Fox News and Donald Trump over Fox’s controversial decision to be the first media outlet to call Arizona for Joe Biden just before 11:30 p.m. last night,” the report read.
“According to a source, Trump phoned Fox owner Rupert Murdoch to scream about the call and demand a retraction. Murdoch refused, and the call stood.”
The publication noted that the pair have reportedly clashed in the months leading up to the election due to the network’s coverage of the race, including its polling. Notably, Murdoch has allegedly been privately telling associates for months that he believes Trump would lose the election.

The New York Times reported that Fox News called Arizona for Biden with just 73 percent of the state’s votes counted. According to the publication, the move didn’t sit well with the Trump campaign and started a chain reaction of chaos.
“What ensued for Mr. Trump was a night of angry calls to Republican governors and advice from campaign aides that he ignored, leading to a middle-of-the-night presidential briefing in which he made a reckless and unsubstantiated string of remarks about the democratic process.”
The result allegedly fueled Trump’s belief that the election is rigged, as he pushed for halting vote counting and subsequent involvement of the Supreme Court.
