Blunt: Trump ‘may not have been defeated at all’

Missouri U.S. Senator Roy Blunt spoke on the election results Tuesday as votes continue to be counted and as litigation is pending in some states.

“What we saw in this last campaign is that candidates really matter, but what you’re for also really matters,” said Blunt. “I think that’s one of the reasons that virtually every predictor of what was going to happen in the elections was wrong.”

“The president wasn’t defeated by huge numbers. In fact, he may not have been defeated at all,” Blunt added.

President Trump tweeting several times Tuesday, showing he remains confident about his chances to retain the presidency.

“WE WILL WIN!”, tweeted Trump.

“BALLOT COUNTING ABUSE!”, he also tweeted.

The President continues to ask that all legal ballots be counted and all illegal ballots be thrown out.

On Monday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr authorized U.S. attorneys to probe “substantial” allegations of voter irregularities and election fraud, though no widespread instances of that type of trouble in the 2020 election have yet to be found and presented to a court.

The Electoral College is slated to formally confirm Joe Biden’s victory on Dec. 14, and the Democrat will be sworn into office in late January.
