On Saturday, November 7, Joe Biden was declared the projected* winner of the 2020 US presidential election by NBCCNNBBC News, and many other media outlets.

Since the projected win, President Donald Trump has continued to make unfounded allegations of voter fraud.

Yesterday, (Monday, November 9) Fox News cut off White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany mid-speech as she also voiced claims of voter fraud at a press conference despite there being no evidence.

Check out the moment the White House Press Secretary was cut off mid-speech:

McEnany did not provide any details to substantiate the allegations, so Fox News host Neil Cavuto explained he was cutting off the broadcast as he could not in "good countenance " let the press secretary continue.

Per Yahoo News Australia, McEnany began her address by alleging that Democrats "oppose verifying signatures, citizenship, residency, eligibility" in the voting process.

"You take these positions because you are welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting. Our position is clear. We want to protect the franchise of the American people. We want an honest, accurate, lawful count," McEnany said.

"We want every legal vote to be counted, and we want every illegal vote to be discarded..." she continued before the audio was abruptly cut off.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Mr Cavuto said.

"I just think we have to be very clear. She’s charging the other side as welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue to show you this.”

President Donald Trump made a string of allegations of fraud prior to his opponent's projected win and has continued to do so.

Trump is now demanding that states recount the ballots and is threatening legal action.

Yesterday, (November 9), Trump continued to post tweets claiming that there had been a "cesspool of fake votes" and "unthinkable and illegal" activity during the election.
