We Are Writing New Pages Of History

Nineteen former U.S. attorneys, all of whom served under Republican presidents, issued a joint statement today calling President Trump’s legal threats and claims of fraud and his false declaration of victory, “premature, baseless and reckless.”

They called on the president to wait patiently and respectfully and allow the lawful vote-counting process to continue in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. President Trump claimed again that some legitimate tallying efforts should be stopped and again tried to assert his victory in the election.

While votes were still being counted, former Vice President Joe Biden broke the record for most votes received by a presidential candidate, amassing more than 70 million. The record was formally held by Barack Obama who received 69,498,516 votes in 2008.

So far, in the 2020 Presidential Election, we are setting a record of voting that is the highest ever recorded in the history of the country.

The U.S. Presidential Election has really caught worldwide attention, especially with our allies all around the world.

In the last several years, because of Trump’s policies under his Make America Great Again initiatives, we have been withdrawing from international organizations and partnerships, and most regrettably, this has led to the cooling down of the relationship with China which has happened at the worst time ever.

The United States has been the leader of the world in the last hundred years. We are a nation of immigrants. We are the model for the world of a democratic nation. Today our election chaos is causing us to write some of the darkest pages in all of our history.
