Elections in the United States: in the final Jo …

Major US news networks, news agencies and media have confirmed, based on their projections of the November 3 US election vote count, that Democrat Joe Biden added 306 voters, compared to 232 for President and Republican candidate Donald Trump, who continues to ignore his defeat.

CNN noted that Biden hit that number by winning in Georgia, a traditionally Republican state, while Trump won North Carolina., the last two states left with the unfinished count. The results do not change the outcome of the national elections in which the former vice-president had already been declared the winner, according to media projections.

Trump, meanwhile, in his first public appearance in eight days, made no mention of the election or its outcome. Instead, he has sought to capitalize on advances in the covid-19 vaccine, without so far admitting defeat in the presidential elections.

In a speech to the White House, he pointed out that over the past nine months, his administration “launched the largest mobilization in US history in the development and manufacture of therapies and vaccines in record time.”

In this sense, he stressed that the operation launched by his government for the manufacture and distribution of vaccines and treatments against covid-19, the so-called “Operation Speed ​​of Light”, is “unmatched in the world. world”.

“Leaders of other countries have called me to congratulate us on what we have been able to do, and we have helped many countries with respirators and all the problems they are having,” he said.

Trump wanted to credit his government for the progress made by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer, who announced on Monday that his covid-19 vaccine it was 90% effective, above what is required by US regulators, which promises rapid emergency clearance for its release to the public.

“Thanks to Operation Speed ​​of Light, Pfizer announced Monday that its vaccine against the Chinese virus is more than 90% effective. This far exceeds all expectations,” said the president.

And he criticized the fact that Pfizer said it was not part of this operation of his administration, which he called an “unfortunate misrepresentation, they are part of it, which is why we gave them 1.95 billion dollars. It’s an unfortunate mistake they made when they said they would work to get an emergency clearance. “

According to the Snopes fact-checking page, used by US media, Pfizer received $ 1.95 billion for the manufacture and distribution of the vaccine in the United States.But that doesn’t mean the government has allocated funds for its research and development.

In Trump’s intervention in the Rose Garden of the White House, experts from his government also spoke, only of covid-19, and journalists’ questions were not accepted.

The American president continues his strategy of denouncing electoral fraud and announced on Twitter that he could attend the demonstration dubbed “Million MAGA March” or “March for Trump”, scheduled tomorrow in the American capital.

“It’s heartwarming to see all the tremendous support there, especially the rallies that are popping up across the country, including a big Saturday in DC,” Trump said via Twitter hours before his public reappearance. “I can even try to drop by and say hello. This election was rigged!”

Several groups called for a march in favor of the president on Saturday, a week after various media outlets projected the Democrat as the winner in the November 3 presidential elections. Joe biden.
