- Argument‹2 of 2
Trump claims to have won the election by a far margin and he has gained support of Republicans
Trump has not conceded the election, and claims to have won. Evidence validates this and his supporters agree.
The argument
President Trump will not concede the election in the coming months, and will continue pursuing the lawsuits in Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. He has been alluding to a non-peaceful transfer of power since before the election. We cannot underestimate him, nor can we underestimate his legal team.
Context
