President Donald Trump has renewed baseless claims that "massive fraud" and crooked officials in battleground states led to his election defeat, and said he'll go to Georgia to rally supporters ahead of two Senate ruff elections. "This has a long way to go," Trump said on Thanksgiving evening, despite fact that President-elect Joe Biden won election.

"This election was a fraud. It was a rigged election." Trump spoke to reporters at White House on Thursday after speaking with US military leaders overseas.

After his conversation, Trump took questions for first time since Election Day and angrily deunced officials in Georgia and Pennsylvania, two key swing states that helped give Biden win, as "enemies of state" and claimed y were culprits in vote fraud. State officials and international observers have repeatedly said evidence of mass fraud exists and Trump's campaign has repeatedly failed in court. Trump said he would hold a rally with thousands of supporters in Georgia on Saturday to support a pair of Republican candidates - Sen. David Perdue and Sen. Kelly Loeffler whose ruff elections on January 5 will determine which party controls Senate.
