Morning news brief: Trump fires Christopher Krebs, Biden holds talks with Modi and more

<p>The supporters, who call themselves "electors" have filed a lawsuit urging the local court to order that their leader, Donald Trump,&nbsp;"be declared the winner of the Election in Nevada". The alternate provided by the 'electors' is that if Trump cannot be declared as a winner, then there should not be a winner from the state of<strong> Nevada</strong>.</p>

<p>This lawsuit has come after&nbsp;the Nevada Secretary of State's office, <strong>Joe Biden</strong> won the state of Nevada by a 33,596 vote margin. These 'electors' had vowed to pledge to Trump in the US electoral college system if he would have won Nevada. As per the lawsuit, there has been "fraud and abuse renders the purported results of the Nevada election illegitimate." However, no proof and claims have been provided by the 'electors' for this allegation.</p>

<p>The lawsuit has been dismissed by the Biden campaign. It appears to be "parroting erroneous allegations made by partisans without first-hand knowledge of the facts," said Dan Kulin, a spokesman for the Clark County Election Department.</p>

<p>"We have not seen their complaint yet; however, it sounds like they are repeating allegations the courts have already rejected," Kulin said.</p>

<p>The lawsuit came after Donald Trump, repeatedly, alleged voter fraud and manipulation of the <strong>US election results </strong>by his opposition, Democratic Party. For this particular campaign, the 'electors' have used the basis of Trump's allegation that a signature verification machine was flawed.

<p>External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday exuded confidence that ties between India and the US will expand further under Joe Biden's administration, noting that he was part of the period when bilateral relations underwent a radical transformation.</p>

<p>"As vice president, we dealt with him. I happened to be the ambassador during the last phase of the Obama administration.</p>

<p>"We'd known him earlier when he was in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as the ranking Democratic member and then as the chairman," Jaishankar said.</p>

<p>The external affairs minister was speaking at an online discussion organised by leading think-tank Gateway House.</p>

<p>"He (Biden) is very much part of this period when Indo-American relations underwent a radical transformation, which I reasonably date back to (Bill) Clinton's visit," Jaishankar said.</p>

<p>Jaishankar said President-elect Biden is "not a stranger" to India or to the relationship between the two countries.</p>

<p>"I am very confident that we will pick up where we left off, we have done that over the last four administrations.</p>

<p>"I think that will be the case as well here and I also say that because within the American politics, it's not just that we deal with the administration of the day, we also tend to deal with the Congress," Jaishankar said.</p>

<p>"American politics by its nature has very strong elements of bipartisanship," he said.</p>

<p>Many countries have expressed a change in a relationship after Joe Biden was unofficially declared the President-elect of the US. The Chilean health minister, too, said he hopes the US will not get involved in COVID-19 vaccine false trade wars under the new leadership.</p>

<p>Enrique Paris, Chile's health minister, said he believes Biden's leadership will allow other countries to present a more united front against the COVID-19 pandemic and the vaccine.</p>

<p>"There was a trade war in which those who could pay more got more and those who could take things out of or even rupture distribution chains did so," he said in an interview.</p>

<p>Paris said he has seen one of the worst dealings of medical supplies from the side of the US. "It was horrible and I hope it doesn't happen again," Paris said. "I believe that Mr. Biden has another vision of what is diplomacy and global understanding between countries."</p>

<p>He hopes now that under Biden's leadership will allow for countries to present a more united front against the coronavirus pandemic. He also said he is expecting that the commercial battles by several countries will come to a halt, including in the United States, now with a change in leadership.</p>

<p>"We should not think of ourselves as in a zone of stability," he said. "We must not lower our guard."</p>

<p>Chile is worried that vaccine, such as&nbsp;Pfizer which has proved 90 per cent effective in trials, would not be provided to the Latin American states, as the countries prepare for the second wave of coronavirus.</p>

Enrique Paris, Chile's health minister, said he believes Biden's leadership will allow other countries to present a more united front against the COVID-19 pandemic and the vaccine. "There was a trade war in which those who could pay more got more and those who could take things out of or even rupture distribution chains did so," he said in an interview. × Paris said he has seen one of the worst dealings of medical supplies from the side of the US. "It was horrible and I hope it doesn't happen again," Paris said. "I believe that Mr. Biden has another vision of what is diplomacy and global understanding between countries." He hopes now that under Biden's leadership will allow for countries to present a more united front against the coronavirus pandemic. He also said he is expecting that the commercial battles by several countries will come to a halt, including in the United States, now with a change in leadership. Also read| US records more than 150,000 COVID-19 cases in a day "We should not think of ourselves as in a zone of stability," he said. "We must not lower our guard." Chile is worried that vaccine, such as Pfizer which has proved 90 per cent effective in trials, would not be provided to the Latin American states, as the countries prepare for the second wave of coronavirus. "We proposed as ministers that there should be just one format ... a more equitable way for everyone to choose or for everyone to receive the vaccines that the WHO deems appropriate for each country," he said.

Chile hopes Biden's administration will not repeat COVID-19 vaccine 'trade war'

<p>It has been reported in various US media reports that Trump may start planning his return as the candidate for Republican party for US elections 2024, if Joe Biden is officially&nbsp;announced as the next President. The reports have been generated after the President refused to accept his defeat in the 2020 elections, alleging voter fraud and manipulation.</p>

Honk and clap: President-elect Joe Biden holds drive-in victory celebrations

<p>People have not historically hustled to spontaneous outdoor dance parties for Joe Biden.</p>

<p>They have not clanged spoons against frying pans in celebration for him, formed triumphant honk-parades along Fifth Avenue for him, made Champagne toasts with strangers in his honor through chants and tears.</p>

<p>“BIDEN!” his supporters shouted outside Manhattan’s Washington Square Park on Saturday, the call echoing from apartment windows and taxis and sidewalk restaurant tables. “JOE BIDEN!”</p>

<p>Joe Biden. That Joe Biden — institutionalist 70-something, incorrigible square, inexhaustible reciter of Irish poetry.</p>

<p>But then, it seems that defeating President Donald Trump can do strange things for a man’s reputation.</p>

<p><strong>See pictures|&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/us-election-result-2020-joe-biden-becomes-president-elect-america-celebrates-341477">Joe Biden becomes President-elect; America celebrates</a></strong></p>

<p>In Biden’s first hours as president-elect Saturday, many voters who have appraised him through the decades as a particular kind of capital veteran — prone to perpetual windiness, requests for a “point of personal privilege” in casual conversation and digressions about dead senators — appeared ready to greet him as a sort of conquering hero.</p>

<p>“Winners write history,” said Amanda Litman, a former aide to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and the executive director of Run for Something, a group encouraging Democrats to seek local office. “I think he definitely gets bonus points for doing what no one thought was possible, even when we hoped it was.”</p>

<p>Litman said she had spent the day walking miles across Brooklyn, sobbing in the street and encountering an intersection dance-a-thon, set to “Shout” by the Isley Brothers, that felt airlifted from a wedding reception.</p>

<p>Biden, of course, has not generally been Washington’s leading purveyor of cool. That will not necessarily change over the long term. It is likely that gushing Democratic affection would have awaited anyone who managed to beat Trump.</p>

<p>And yet, this is the person who did it.</p>

<p>If the last two commanders in chief have been phenomenon candidates who became phenomenon presidents, Biden would appear to be ending the trend, comfortable instead with the identity that helped elect him: the man to rein things in a bit, to lower the collective volume before the neighbors complain.</p>

<p>This is someone who does not drink, who does not smoke, who once scolded friends at his own bachelor party for growing too rowdy.</p>

<p>During the campaign, Biden’s team strained to create a mini-cult of personality around him, bragging on his signature accessory (aviators), his signature vice (ice cream), his interest in muscle cars.</p>

<p>“Ridin’ With Biden,” went one slogan that kinda-sorta caught on.</p>

<p>While most of the impromptu gatherings this weekend came in places unaccustomed to Biden-associated revelry — with rollicking bashes from Los Angeles to Washington to most any city in between, cheering Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris — there was at least one ZIP code for which the embrace was more culmination than novelty.</p>

<p>On Saturday, hundreds of cars jammed into a parking lot outside an events center in Wilmington, Delaware, ferrying in Biden’s friends and fans from the state he represented for 36 years in the Senate for a somewhat socially distanced drive-in rally. They sat on the roofs of their vehicles and played cornhole as they waited. They lugged around oversize American flags and kibitzed in lawn chairs and balanced Champagne flutes on top of their cars. They were proud, they said, of their state’s most famous resident.</p>

<p>In his speech, Biden was quintessentially himself. After jogging onstage to a chorus of car honks, he began with a nod to the fine people of Delaware (“the people who brought me to the dance!”) and then decided to name a few, shouting out assorted local dignitaries like a city council candidate.</p>

<p>He quoted relatives and welcomed Harris and her husband to the Biden family, “like it or not.”</p>

<p>He tried to empathize with Trump voters, noting that he had “lost a couple times myself” in his political day. He acknowledged the present national gravity. He projected humility. He smiled a little.</p>

<p>It had been a long campaign — three, actually, for the presidency alone in his lifetime. He looked out on guests who had seen him lose as often as they’d seen him win.</p>

<p>This time around, the mood was purely festive — so much so that Maureen Whilby had decided to celebrate her 55th birthday on-site, where the fireworks and confetti blasts might as well have been for her, too.</p>

<p>Nearby, a cluster of Delawareans stood together wearing T-shirts indicating their past lives as Iowa volunteers for Biden, a reminder of the dark, icy days he spent in a state that rejected him in his 2008 run and did so again in 2020.</p>

<p>“We were a little nervous at that point,” admitted Patti McKelvey, 53, a Pilates and yoga teacher from Wilmington. “But we were still 100% backing Joe.”</p>

Dancing in the streets, and a parking lot, for Joe Biden

Family affair: Joe Biden's family celebrates his historical win as President-elect

<p>It is day three of counting and there is still no clear winner to report, however, there is all likelihood it's Joe Biden.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-election-results-2020-us-state-of-georgia-to-recount-vote-says-official-341225">Also Read:&nbsp;US state of Georgia to recount vote, says official</a></p>

<p>Reports say the Secret Service is ramping up Biden's security. They have sent a squad of agents to add to the security bubble around Biden at the Wilmington Convention Centre.</p>

<p>The Wilmington New Castle airport has been declared as the national defence airspace. A team of secret service agents has reportedly been on standby for Biden since last week. Some reporters on the ground have observed the changes already with additional security assets spotted in Biden's motorcade.</p>

<p>It consistent with the presidential entourages. They are reportedly equipped to handle a wide variety of threats while it is not a full protective detail but the deployment moves closer in that direction. The Secret Service will have to wait for the result for a full deployment, since counting is still underway more than 139 million votes have been counted which is more than 90 per cent of the votes cast but the race is still close and the process has been slow.</p>

<p>It gave polling agency enough time to conduct another opinion poll. The question posed to Americans was this: what will the result be? Fifty two per cent of the respondents said Biden is winning, 20 per cent said Trump is winning and 28 per cent are unsure about the result but Americans can be sure about is this - Donald Trump is in no mood to vacate the White House. He has refused to accept the outcome which he obviously believes will be against him.</p>

<p>Trump says he is being cheated out of a victory. He held a press conference to complain about his losses as major American networks cut out of his speech the moment Trump claimed voter fraud. They didn't wait for him to finish the speech. He also went to court but not much luck there either.</p>

<div class="ui-state-default" contenteditable="false">

<p>Judges in Georgia and Michigan found no merit in Trump's claims. They tossed out the cases filed by him. Election officials, courts and the media - all of them say Trump has no evidence of fraud but Trump keeps pushing America towards a nightmare - a constitutional crisis that could drag on for weeks.</p>

<p>The votes are still being counted but a Biden's victory now looks like just a matter of time. He will be the 46th president of the United States. Trump will not accept that so he called for a press briefing. His first one since election day, he claimed the Democrats are stealing the election.</p>

<p>"Good evening. I'd like to provide the American people with an update on our efforts to protect the integrity of our very important 2020 election.

It is day three of counting and there is still no clear winner to report, however, there is all likelihood it's Joe Biden. Also Read: US state of Georgia to recount vote, says official Reports say the Secret Service is ramping up Biden's security. They have sent a squad of agents to add to the security bubble around Biden at the Wilmington Convention Centre. The Wilmington New Castle airport has been declared as the national defence airspace. A team of secret service agents has reportedly been on standby for Biden since last week. Some reporters on the ground have observed the changes already with additional security assets spotted in Biden's motorcade. It consistent with the presidential entourages. They are reportedly equipped to handle a wide variety of threats while it is not a full protective detail but the deployment moves closer in that direction. The Secret Service will have to wait for the result for a full deployment, since counting is still underway more than 139 million votes have been counted which is more than 90 per cent of the votes cast but the race is still close and the process has been slow. It gave polling agency enough time to conduct another opinion poll. The question posed to Americans was this: what will the result be? Fifty two per cent of the respondents said Biden is winning, 20 per cent said Trump is winning and 28 per cent are unsure about the result but Americans can be sure about is this - Donald Trump is in no mood to vacate the White House. He has refused to accept the outcome which he obviously believes will be against him. Trump says he is being cheated out of a victory. He held a press conference to complain about his losses as major American networks cut out of his speech the moment Trump claimed voter fraud. They didn't wait for him to finish the speech. He also went to court but not much luck there either. × Judges in Georgia and Michigan found no merit in Trump's claims. They tossed out the cases filed by him. Election officials, courts and the media - all of them say Trump has no evidence of fraud but Trump keeps pushing America towards a nightmare - a constitutional crisis that could drag on for weeks. The votes are still being counted but a Biden's victory now looks like just a matter of time. He will be the 46th president of the United States. Trump will not accept that so he called for a press briefing. His first one since election day, he claimed the Democrats are stealing the election. Trump said he has won but the ballots have been compromised. "Good evening. I'd like to provide the American people with an update on our efforts to protect the integrity of our very important 2020 election.

<p>A college teacher from California has been ordered to stand trial by a US court after he was accused of sending a threatening letter to a health official over the restrictions being imposed to contain the spread of coronavirus pandemic.</p>

<p>The teacher is a 55-year-old who teaches mathematics at a community college in Northern California.&nbsp;Alan Viarengo was arrested from the town of&nbsp;Gilroy and the local police officials confiscated&nbsp;138 firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition and explosive materials.</p>

<p>"You will pay a heavy price for your stupidity, (expletive)," one of the letters read, according to local reports.&nbsp;"You must go no matter how you go you stupid (expletive)," and “You are done … it’s over … say goodbye," other letters read.</p>

<p>Donald Trump Jr., President's oldest son, has urged his father to wage "total war" to uncover the "fraud, cheating" being allegedly committed by Donald Trump's rival Joe Biden. "The best thing for America’s future is for&nbsp;@realDonaldTrump&nbsp;to go to total war over this election to expose all of the fraud, cheating, dead/no longer in state voters, that has been going on for far too long," he tweeted.</p>

<p>Just like his father's several tweets, Jr.'s tweet was also flagged by Twitter as "misleading about an election or other civic process."</p>

<p>He also re-tweeted several videos of people claiming to have been duped of a fair election. Some of the Trump supporters claimed that when they went to cast their ballots at the polling station, they were told that someone had already cast vote on their name which made it impossible for them to vote. While there is no proof of these claims and allegations, Trump's sons believe these are true. "Losing fair and square is one thing but in the face of all of this video evidence, lack of transparency, boarding up of windows, fighting to prevent poll watching etc etc... for GOPers to not stand up now shows your true colors," Jr. tweeted. "Will make the 2024 primary process a lot easier."</p>

<p>Donald Trump's younger son Eric Trump hinted towards some big announcement through a tweet that read, "Wait until you see what we are uncovering..."</p>

<p>Ivanka Trump, on the other hand, has been quieter than her brothers about these allegations.

Donald Trump's family wants 'total war' against Joe Biden

<p>Twitter and Youtube have taken a stand against the&nbsp;right-wing strategist Steve Bannon and suspended an account that was promoting Bannon's podcast in which he said the US coronavirus task force expert Anthony Fauci should be&nbsp;decapitated as a "warning" to others.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/donald-trump"><strong>Donald Trump's</strong></a> aid and strategist hosts a podcast named "Bannon’s War Room". During one of the latest episodes of the podcast, he suggested that if Donald Trump wins the <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/us-election">US election</a></strong>&nbsp;2020 against&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a></strong>, Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray should be beheaded as awarning to the other federal&nbsp;bureaucrats.</p>

<p>"I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I’d put the heads on pikes, right? I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program, or you’re gone," Bannon said.</p>
