US President Donald Trump met with two top Michigan Republicans in a highly unusual session, as part of his continuous attempts to reverse his defeat by President-elect Joe Biden to a victory in the election, but lawmakers have confirmed that they do not agree with his allegations of "fraud."

Trump met at the White House with Speaker of the House of Representatives of Michigan Lee Chatfield and President of the State Senate Mike Shirky, and after the meeting the two lawmakers issued a statement indicating that they did not agree with Trump's allegations about widespread fraud of voters, and intend to award the electoral college votes to Biden as required by law. .

Sydney Powell, an attorney for Trump's team, has called on both state legislatures to award electors to Trump, a measure that would invalidate the popular vote and face legal challenges.

"We have not yet been informed of any information that would change the election result in Michigan, and as legislative leaders we will follow the law and follow the normal process with regard to voters in Michigan, just as we have said throughout the elections," the lawmakers said.

Biden’s victory was announced in Michigan by all the major American media, by a difference of more than 150,000 votes.

Yesterday, two weeks have passed since Democratic candidate Joe Biden was declared winning the US presidential election, at a time when President Trump faces successive setbacks in his strenuous and unprecedented attempt to nullify the result.

Democrat Biden is preparing to officially assume the presidency on January 20, but Trump refuses to accept the matter, and seeks to nullify or reverse the results through appeals and recount in a number of states, claiming without evidence of widespread fraud.

Trump's bid to hold on to power appeared weaker than ever, after the official in charge of the Georgia state election process, Brad Ravensberger, announced that the hand count and review of all votes in the southern state confirmed Biden won the state vote.

At an event held at the White House the day before yesterday on reducing drug prices, Trump reiterated in his first public statements in days about the election result: "I won."

After a series of defeats in the courtroom, three sources familiar with the matter said that Trump's team was pinning its hopes on an effort to push Republican-controlled legislatures in the crucial states that Biden won to set the results aside and declare Trump the winner of the vote.

This is a long-term endeavor currently focused on Pennsylvania and Michigan, but even if the two states turn in Trump's favor, he will need to reverse the outcome of the third-state vote to outrun Biden in the electoral college.

Such a measure would be a precedent in modern American history.

Pressure mounted on Trump to begin the official transition process, and more Republicans expressed skepticism about his unsubstantiated claims of election fraud.

Maine Senator Susan Collins said in a statement that Trump has a "right way and a wrong way" to object to what he sees as electoral irregularities.

"The correct way is to collect evidence and file judicial appeals in the courts," she added.

The wrong way is to try to pressure state election officials. ”

The state's Public Services Administration, run by a Trump-appointed official, still does not acknowledge Biden's victory and is preventing his team from entering government headquarters and from using the funding normally available to the next administration.

Biden won 306 votes compared to 232 for Trump in the electoral college that determines the winner of the elections, which is much more than the 270 votes needed for victory. All states must document the official results at least six days before the electoral college on December 14th.

Trump reiterates his statements about "winning the elections" ... and his team is pinning hopes on the legislative councils.
