WASHINGTON (AP), President Joe Biden underscored a series of significant setbacks faced by former President Donald Trump since his electoral defeat, shedding light on the persistent challenges despite Trump’s ongoing refusal to accept the election outcome.
In a pointed enumeration delivered Friday, Biden emphasized the substantial 7 million-vote loss for Trump in the popular vote. Despite Trump’s fervent support base, his failure to secure a majority of votes signaled a clear rejection by the American electorate.
Moreover, Biden highlighted Trump’s legal endeavors post-election, detailing a staggering 60 court cases pursued by the former president to challenge the election results. However, the outcomes of these cases consistently failed to favor Trump, further validating the legitimacy of the election outcome.

Even in states traditionally aligned with the Republican Party, Biden noted setbacks faced by Trump, emphasizing that election results were upheld despite GOP control. This undercut Trump’s claims of widespread fraud or irregularities.
An intriguing revelation in Biden’s list was Trump’s legal challenges unfolding before judges he appointed during his tenure. This underscored the impartiality of the judiciary, as Trump’s own appointees ruled against him in several instances.
The legal battles reached the Supreme Court, the highest judicial authority in the nation, yet failed to sway in Trump’s favor. Despite multiple state recounts aimed at addressing concerns, the outcome remained unchanged, reinforcing the accuracy and integrity of the electoral process.
Biden’s poignant conclusion encapsulated the ongoing narrative surrounding Trump’s refusal to concede, stating, “Yet he still doesn’t understand the basic truth: you can’t love your country ONLY when you win.” This powerful statement emphasized the significance of embracing democratic principles beyond individual victories.
The comprehensive list presented by Biden challenges Trump’s assertions and underscores the resilience of the democratic process. Despite numerous attempts, Trump has been unable to overturn the will of the people expressed in the 2020 election.
