WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Joe Biden’s campaign says it will fight any efforts by President Donald Trump’s campaign to go to the US Supreme Court to prevent ballots from being tabulated.
In a statement sent before 4:00 a.m. Wednesday, Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon called Trump’s statement that he will “be going to the US Supreme Court” and that he wants “all voting to stop” “outrageous, unprecedented and incorrect.”
O’Malley Dillon says the Biden campaign has “legal teams standing by ready to deploy to resist that effort.”
And she says, “They will prevail.”
President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, are in a tight battle for the White House.
Many of the battleground states have yet to be called, including Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Trump has won Texas, Florida, Iowa and Ohio, while Biden carried Arizona, New Hampshire and Minnesota.
It takes 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
