Trump erupts as Biden closes in on US presidencyWASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump erupted Thursday in a tirade of unsubstantiated claims that he has been cheated out of winning the US election as vote counting across battleground states showed Democrat Joe Biden steadily closing in on victory. "They are trying to steal the election," Trump said in an extraordinary statement at the White House two days after polls closed. Biden closes inTrump's rant came as returns from still undeclared states around the country showed Biden trending toward victory. If Biden took Pennsylvania, he would grab 20 more electoral college votes, thereby instantly topping the necessary 270 for overall victory. Bob Bauer, a lawyer for the Biden campaign, dismissed the slew of lawsuits as "meritless."
