Despite earning more votes in the 2020 presidential election than he did in the 2016 presidential election, President Trump narrowly lost his re-election attempt to former Vice President Joe Biden earlier this month. Trump has reportedly received the votes of 67 million Americans, he got approximately 63 million votes in 2016. The issues of social and racial unrest and a failed response to the COVID-19 outbreak became the main factors of the incumbent President Trump’s narrow defeat.
Meanwhile, President Trump has launched legal challenges alleging election irregularities or improper ballot-counting procedures in five states where President-elect Joe Biden leads. On 16 November, President Trump’s National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said that, although he hoped Trump would eventually be declared the winner, he would ensure a professional transition to the team led by Biden if he is deemed to be the winner of the 2020 Presidential Election.
