Donald Trump says US election could be decided by Supreme Court, lots of litigation expected US Elections 2020

Washington/Sputnik: US President Donald Trump in a news conference said the 2020 presidential election could be decided by the Supreme Court, adding that a lot of litigation is expected.

"We think we will win the election very easily, we think there's going to be a lot of litigation because we have so much evidence, so much proof and it's going to end up perhaps at the highest court on the land," Trump said at the White House on Thursday.  

Meanwhile, Joe Biden is slowly heading towards the 270-mark.

While Joe Biden is ahead in 253 seats, incumbent President Donald Trump is leading in 213.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's campaign expects him to overtake Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in the crucial state of Arizona when the vote counting is finished, campaign's deputy manager David Bossie said in a press conference in Phoenix.

"If the current trends continue, as we have seen, because we follow the science, President Trump is going to overtake Joe Biden, and we're going to win Arizona," Bossie said on Thursday.

According to the campaign officials, Arizona still has thousands of uncounted votes favoring the president.

"The news organizations have prematurely called Arizona… What we're going to do is prove them wrong," Bossie stated.

Fox News and the Associated Press have made a projection in Arizona placing Biden ahead of Trump in the presidential race.

According to Fox, Biden is leading in the state, which carries eleven electoral college votes, 50.5-48.1% after 88 percent of the ballots have been counted.
