Vote counts push Biden closer to victory as Trump falsely claims election being 'stolen'

11 Sept 23:35 Key points summarised by AI

Joe Biden steadily advanced towards the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory, eroding President Trump's leads in key battleground states like Pennsylvania and Georgia, while maintaining narrow advantages in Nevada and Arizona.
President Trump launched an extraordinary assault on the democratic process, falsely claiming the election was being 'stolen' from him without evidence and lambasting election workers.
Trump's campaign pursued multiple lawsuits in battleground states, but judges in Georgia and Michigan quickly rejected challenges, with legal experts deeming them unlikely to alter the electoral outcome.
Election officials methodically continued counting hundreds of thousands of ballots, primarily mail-in votes, with final results in several states anticipated to take days.
Biden urged patience and expressed confidence in his eventual win, stating that 'No one is going to take our democracy away from us' and emphasizing the resilience of the democratic system.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
