A major law firm withdrew overnight from President Donald
Trump’s case in Pennsylvania.
The President’s campaign is seeking to have mail-in ballots
thrown out, and the withdrawal is the latest blow to Trump’s efforts to challenge
the 2020 election result in court.
The law firm based in Ohio, Porter Wright Morris &
Arthur, which brought a suit on Monday arguing that the use of mail-in ballots
in the election had created “an illegal two-tiered voting system” in the state,
abruptly withdrew from that case in a memo to the court.
“Plaintiffs and Porter Wright have reached a mutual
agreement that plaintiffs will be best served if Porter Wright withdraws,” the
memo said, according to The Guardian UK.
In another development, lawyers for the Trump campaign also
withdrew a lawsuit in Arizona, they said that the case would not move enough
votes to change the election result in the state.
“Since the close of yesterday’s hearing, the tabulation of
votes statewide has rendered unnecessary a judicial ruling as to the
presidential electors,” Trump lawyer Kory Langhofer told an Arizona state
court, in news first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
The development means that Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania
will be certified soon, and his election president draws closer. By US law the
state’s result must be certified by 23 November.
Biden is currently leading Trump with 5.3m popular votes and
counting, and 306 Electoral College votes to Trump’s 232.
