ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Under a dreary winter sky, President Trump on Wednesday pressured Vice President Mike Pence to illegally throw the 2020 election his way, and excoriated Republicans, the news media, Democrats and the U.S. electoral process in a speech before a crowd of supporters on the National Mall in Washington. “We will never concede,” Trump said at a rally protesting the results of the election, in which President-elect Joe Biden got more than seven million votes more than Trump and received 306 electoral votes. The rally began on an off-note when Trump started talking but his microphone wasn’t working. People in the crowd shouted that they couldn’t hear him, until the microphone suddenly came to life as Trump was midway through his first of many complaints about the news media. From there, he went on to describe nearly everything and anyone he sees as critical of him as “corrupt" in one way or another. Trump began speaking almost exactly an hour before the start of a joint session of Congress during which the Electoral College votes are to be certified. Pence’s constitutionally mandated obligation is to oversee the proceedings in a ministerial role. Trump’s false claims of election fraud and promotion of the rallies on Wednesday encouraged some of his stauncher allies and supporters to travel the country to attend. The White House had hoped for 30,000 people, but aides feared the turnout would be far smaller. Tap the link in our bio to read more about Trump’s remarks to supporters.
