Trump: “Lawsuits have just begun” Counting is still ongoing in five key states. Biden increases his lead in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Nevada. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has already called Biden “president-elect”, but Trump retorted in a tweet: “Biden shouldn’t reclaim the post of president, that would be wrong. I could too. The lawsuits have just begun.” .
