After Election Day came and went without a winner, US President Donald Trump holds vote tabulations as he spoke at the White House early on Wednesday, November 4. Trump attacked legitimate vote-counting efforts in his remarks, suggesting that attempts to tally all ballots amounted to disenfranchising his supporters. He baselessly claimed a fraud was being committed. "Frankly we did win this election," he said, despite millions of votes still outstanding.
