US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris accused incumbent American leader Donald Trump of abuse of power after a recording of his conversation with Georgia State Secretary Brad Raffensperger appeared, during which the head of state asked for a recount in his favor. She made such a statement on the air of the C-SPAN TV channel.
“Have you all heard about this recorded conversation? This, of course, was the voice of despair. It was a blatant and daring abuse of power by the President of the United States, ”said Harris.
Earlier, The Washington Post reported that Donald Trump called on Brad Raffensperger to recount the votes in one of the key US states in the presidential election in his favor. “I just want to find 11,780 votes because we won,” the newspaper quoted the president.
On November 3, 2020, the next presidential elections were held in the United States. The counting of votes and the proceedings on this issue are still ongoing. According to the media, Biden received the necessary number of electoral votes to win, thus surpassing the current American leader Donald Trump. The democrat has already proclaimed himself US President-elect. Trump, in turn, said that Biden was in a hurry to call himself the country's new leader.
