If President Trump wins the 2020 presidential election, the Commander-in-Chief’s « relentless negative media coverage » will be to blame, constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley said on Wednesday

« Months ago I wrote that if Donald Trump were to win this election, the most responsible people would be the media, » Turley told « Fox & Friends »

« We had this relentless level of negative media coverage I think the rebuttal was that a lot of voters were put off by it. They certainly turned off the news, » Turley said

Americans woke up on Wednesday morning unsure of who their next president will be as slow returns to major oscillating states delayed results and made the race for President Trump or Joe Biden impossible

With the outcome still pending, both candidates claimed they had a path to victory – Biden urging patience and Trump essentially declaring victory in comments made after 2m ET

« We think we’re on track to win this election, » Biden said in an early morning speech in Delaware

Turley said that « the worst case scenario » in the electoral process was occurring, calling the current situation in Pennsylvania a « mess. » Turley explained that there are several « problems » in the electoral process, particularly in Pennsylvania, which would justify a legal challenge

« In the last presidential elections we waited for the wave of litigation that happened at the end of election day or more often the next day In this election we started in the red zone, I mean we had been to the Supreme Court before We saw challenges in all of these swing states A lot of cases were placeholders, a lot of them were difficult practices in case the state turned out to be one of those rodents of nails Well this is happening Our worst case scenario is where we are looking at states that are frankly messy, ”he said

Turley said the legal battle, particularly in Pennsylvania, could get « pretty intense » in the coming days as a « resounding » victory for either candidate did not materialize
