WILMINGTON — US President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday accused Donald Trump of brazenly damaging democracy as the incumbent pressed on with a campaign to reverse his election loss through fraud claims and personal outreach to election authorities. Trump is behind “incredibly damaging messages being sent to the rest of the world about how democracy functions,” Biden told reporters in his home state of Delaware. ADVERTISEMENTAsked about Trump’s calls with officials in Michigan, which Biden won on November 3 election by 155,000 votes, Biden said it was “another incident where he will go down in history as being one of the most irresponsible presidents in American history.”“It’s hard to fathom how this man thinks,” Biden said. Biden also won the Electoral College votes that ultimately decide who takes the White House by 306 to 232, flipping five states that went to Trump four years ago. In Michigan, Trump placed a telephone call to a Republican on a once-obscure board who wants to withdraw her certification of the election result in the heavily Democratic county that includes majority-Black Detroit.
