US President Donald Trump insists he is being cheated out of election victory.
“If you count the legal votes, I easily win,” he claims. “If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us.”

Speaking from the White House, Trump again falsely claims he has won the race, claiming that mail-in votes “came in late” and baselessly alleging “election interference by big money and big tech.”
He claims that rather than a blue wave, there has been a “red wave.”

The Democrats’ major donors “were Wall Street bankers and special interests,” he says.
Trump is speaking as his rival, Democratic challenger Joe Biden, is closing in on the 27 Electoral College votes he needs to win the presidency.
Contrary to Trump’s allegations, there is no evidence of fraud in the elections.
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone.
