2020年美國總統大選大勢底定,各家主流媒體──包括川普最愛的《福斯新聞網》──7日紛紛宣布民主黨挑戰者拜登擊敗現任總統川普,美國各主要友邦──包括台灣──也先後發出賀電。對此,川普第一時間拒絕認輸,指稱選舉還沒結束,拜登還不是贏家。

川普(Donald Trump)表示,許多州的計票工作尚未結束、問題叢生,有些州必須重新計票,他的團隊會在賓州等地法庭討回公道。川普雖然指控拜登(Joe Biden)與媒體勾結「謊稱當選」,但他自己搶在投票日翌日凌晨、計票工作仍緊鑼密鼓進行時,就已「自行宣布當選」,留下歷史笑柄。

截至7日,全美50州與華府的538張選舉人票(electoral votes),拜登至少贏得284票,已跨越270票當選門檻。選情專家分析,拜登最多可望拿到306張選舉人票。此外,拜登已拿下7449萬張普選票(popular votes),比川普足足多出415萬票,而且是美國歷史上得票最高的總統候選人與當選人。
