Gabriel Saouma, a member of the advisory board of US President Donald Trump, revealed that Trump will not attend the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, for his solid conviction that fraud occured in the November3rd elections and altered the final results, leading Trump to lose.

Speaking to Al-Ain news, Saouma explained that that that outgoing president still believes that fraud had prevented him from winning a second presidential term.

Democratic candidate Joe Biden won the November elections by winning 306 votes in the electoral college against his Republican rival, Donald Trump, who got 232 votes.

Saouma said that “President Trump and his supporters will not publicly acknowledge the results of the elections,” indicating that there are 3 presidents in the history of the United States who did not attend the inauguration of the president-elect. Some of them left the White House before the inauguration ceremony. Hours, and another left the night before the concert.

Biden and his deputy, Kamala Harris, will be sworn in for a four-year term on January 20 at the Capitol.

Saouma said that Trump's last chance is on January 6, as he will wait for what will happen in the congressional session ... "and on this date everyone will know who the elected president is."

Members of the House of Representatives and Senate will meet in the House of Representatives on January 6, and the session will be presided over by the President of the Senate, and the electoral votes are read and counted in alphabetical order by two persons appointed from the House of Representatives and Senators, then the President of the Senate announces the results.

Saouma said: "President Trump is waiting for a session of Congress, which will be chaired by Vice President Pence in his capacity as Speaker of the Senate, who needs support from members of the House of Representatives and the Senate to consider the objections."

He added: "A member from the House of Representatives and another from the Senate have the right to object to the Electoral College’s decision, and if two members object to the results during the session, then the House of Representatives (435 members) must meet to approve who is the winner."

He noted that when the House of Representatives meets, each of the 50 states has the right to have one delegate to vote, and Trump believes that most states will vote for him.
