Donald Trump spent his Sunday slamming Hillary Clinton over her campaign’s decision to assist with a recount request in three swing states and insisting that if it weren’t for “millions of people who voted illegally,” he would have won the U.S. popular vote. The allegation by Trump, who won the required votes in the Electoral College to secure the presidency, comes as Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's lead in the popular vote over Trump has surpassed 2.0 million votes and is expected to grow to more than 2.5 million as ballots in populous states such as California continue to be tallied. Trump taking up the social media with a flood of tweets -- nearly a dozen -- comes a day after the Clinton Campaign said that it would join the Green Party efforts towards recounting of votes in three States of Wisconsin, Philadelphia and Michigan. ‘It would have been much easier for me to win the so-called popular vote than the Electoral College in that I would only campaign in 3 or 4- - states instead of the 15 states that I visited.
President-elect Donald Trump is declared as the winner in Michigan, causing his electoral college vote to rise to 306. Hillary Clinton's margin in the popular vote rises to over two million.
