Obama Says Fraud claims Undermine US Democracy

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news November 13, 2020

Former US president Barack Obama has said senior US Republicans are undermining democracy by going along with Trump’s baseless claims of fraud.

In an interview due to air on Sunday, Obama said President-elect Joe Biden had ‘’clearly won’’ this year’s race for the White House. President Trump and his team are yet to provide any evidence to support their claims.

The media called the result last week however much some states are still counting. Arizona and its 11 electoral votes are 99% finished with Biden in the lead.

Mr. Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama said the allegations were motivated by the fact that his successor hates losing.

‘’I’m more troubled by the fact that other Republican officials, who clearly know better, are going along with this. It is one more step in delegitimizing not just the incoming Biden Administration, but democracy general. And that’s a dangerous path,’’ Obama said.

Mr. Obama was speaking ahead of the release of his new memoir, A Promised Land. This memoire charts his rise to the US Senate and first term as president. It is the first of two books that will cover his time in the White House and it will be released on 17 November.

Obama said in his memoir that Trump came into power by stoking fears about a Black man leading the country according to expert quotes.

Obama reportedly wrote that Trump promised an elixir for the racial anxiety of millions of Americans spooked by a black president.
