Donald Trump tells supporters at Georgia rally he will 'fight like hell' to remain president

DONALD TRUMP has promised "the best is yet to come" as he told supporters he will continue his fight to keep the presidency.

The 45th President of the United States lost the Presidential Election to Joe Biden in November but has repeatedly refused to accept the results, launching legal battles in multiple states and alleging unsubstantiated claims of 'widespread voter fraud'.

Earlier this week, an audio recording was leaked of Mr Trump urging Georgia’s Republican secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to 'find' the votes he needed to beat Joe Biden and overturn the election result.

In audio clips shared online by The Washington Post, Trump can be heard telling Raffensperger to find the necessary votes to hand him victory.

“The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry,” Trump says “And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.” 

Mr Trump yesterday travelled to a rally in Georgia where he told his supporters he would "fight like hell" to keep the presidency, again insisting he had won the election "by a lot".

"We will not break, we will not yield," he told supporters. "We will never give in, we will never give up.

"We will never back down, we will never, ever surrender."

He appealed to Republican lawmakers to overturn the election when they meet later this week to confirm the Electoral College vote, and told supporters that Democrats are "not gonna take this White House".

Vice President Mike Pence is under pressure to join Republican lawmakers to object to Mr Biden's win at a joint session of Congress on Wednesday; Mr Pence had previously promised that "On Wednesday, we'll have our day in Congress".

Mr Trump told his cheering supporters "I hope that our great Vice President comes through for us. He's a great guy."

Joe Biden is set to be inaugurated on 20 January, and while Mr Trump has gained the support of some Republicans in an attempt to overturn the election, it is likely the inauguration will go ahead as planned.
