President Donald Trump has so far refused to accept his loss to President-Elect Joe Biden. Since his lead began to slip, Trump ratcheted up his baseless allegations about voter fraud, accusing Democrats of trying to 'steal the election' from him. Business Insider reports Trump continues to falsely claim victory. On Sunday, the President of the United States also expressed confusion and outrage at the well-known, longstanding process of news outlets calling the election. However, the Associated Press has been the 'gold standard' for calling races for decades. The news organization has been 'counting the vote' since 1848.
Data suggests that for every person who dies of COVID-19, they leave behind nine family members. According to HuffPost, that means nearly 2 million people in the US theoretically have experienced the death of a close relative due to the disease. It's easy to be triggered by the news, especially when COVID-19-positive President Donald Trump turns it into a campaign photo op. If you're feeling overwhelmed with grief and frustration, mental health experts encourage taking action. Grieve openly. Reach out to friends and family, and turn off the TV. Know that what you're feeling is natural and normal, and be kind to yourself. If it helps, look for virtual support groups with people going through the same thing or reach out to a mental health professional.
"These are all Biden trials," Donald Trump says as he arrives at a New York courthouse where prosecution and defense teams are set to present opening arguments in the former US president's historic hush-money criminal trial. "I'm here instead of being able to be in Pennsylvania, in Georgia, and lots of other places campaigning," he adds. Trump, 77, has been ordered by the judge to appear in the Manhattan court for the duration of the case, largely keeping him off the campaign trail for weeks as he challenges President Joe Biden for the White House in November's election.
