    • The Jorgensen/Cohen campaign launches a nationwide "Brake the Bus Tour".[441]

    • Trump announces that he will participate remotely in the Republican National Convention instead of traveling in person to Charlotte.

  • August 12: Biden and Harris make their first official appearance as the presumptive Democratic ticket at Alexis I. duPont High School in Wilmington, Delaware.[455]
  • August 13: The House of Representatives votes for an emergency grant of $25 billion to the post office to facilitate the predicted flood of mail ballots.[456] Trump concedes that the post office would need additional funds to handle the additional mail-in voting, but said he would block any additional funding for the post office because he wanted to prevent any increase in balloting by mail.[457]
  • August 17: The first night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention is held (see also 2020 Democratic National Convention § Schedule), with the theme "We the People".

    • During his network's coverage of the Republican National Convention, CNN commentator Don Lemon opines on air to his colleague Chris Cuomo that Biden needs to start addressing the Kenosha protests instead of saying silent, noting that it is becoming a top issue in recent polls and accusing Democrats of "ignoring this problem or hoping that it will go away".[486] Biden eventually starts to address the protests the following afternoon in a tweet, calling for an end to the violence.[487][488]
  • August 26:
  • August 27:
    • Pelosi urges Biden to skip the presidential debates, claiming that Trump will "probably act in a way that is beneath the dignity of the presidency ...

Biden responds by saying that he wants to go ahead and participate so that he can "be a fact-checker on the floor while I'm debating [Trump]".[496]
    • The National Hockey League announces the postponement of their games for August 27 and 28 after its players decide not to play because of the Blake shooting.[497] All NBA and seven MLB games originally scheduled for this day are also postponed as those leagues' players continue to sit out in protest for a second consecutive day.[498]

    • In an interview published by Axios, the Democratic data and analytics firm Hawkfish warns that mail-in voting will likely delay the actual election results by days or even weeks.

    • Approximately 9:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. (7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. MST): More than 200 Trump supporters protest at a Maricopa County, Arizona elections center and around downtown Phoenix, claiming some ballots have not been properly counted. This follows the Trump campaign's continuing belief that the state remains too close to call, and complaints that election officials provided voters with Sharpie pens that may have disqualifed ballots. Counting inside the building eventually shuts down early.[832]
  • November 5:
    • Speaking to reporters, Biden urges to remain calm and that "Democracy is sometimes messy".[833]
    • At a press conference at the White House, Trump continues claiming voter fraud without providing specific evidence.[834]

    • The Michigan Court of Claims dismisses Trump's lawsuit to temporarily halt the ballot counting until Republican poll watchers have sufficient access to observe it. The state court rules on grounds that filing it against the Michigan Secretary of State was improper because the office is not directly involved with that part of the local counting process. In addition, "it was filed at 4:00, at which point the count had largely proceeded".[836]
    • The Nevada Republican Party sends a criminal referral to U.S. Attorney General Barr, alleging over 3,000 cases of voter fraud.[837]
    • A Pennsylvania state judge grants Trump's request and allows poll watchers to observe the Philadelphia ballot counting "within 6 feet, while [still] adhering to all COVID-19 protocols" instead of being forced to observe further back.[838] The Philadelphia County Board of Elections then appeals the case to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.[839]
    • US District Judge Paul S. Diamond hears arguments for a similar federal case involving Trump poll watchers claiming they had not been given equal access as Democrats during the Philadelphia ballot counting. Diamond dismisses the case without prejudice after the Trump campaign and Pennsylvania election officials reach an agreement.[840]

    • As Biden overtakes Trump in the Georgia and Pennsylvania ballot counts, Trump tweets, "Joe Biden should not wrongfully claim the office of the President. I could make that claim also. Legal proceedings are just now beginning!"[846][847]
    • With the updated Pennsylvania ballot counts, the election-calling organization Decision Desk HQ announces that it now projects Biden as the winner of that state, and thus becomes the first major election reporting organization to declare that he has reached the required 270 electoral votes to be named the U.S. President-elect. Those organizations that use Decision Desk HQ's services such as Vox and Business Insider repeat the call that Biden is the winner of the election.[848] However, the Associated Press, Fox News, and other organizations continue to list Pennsylvania as too close to call.[849]
    • With the vote still close to call in his state, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says that there will likely be a recount.[850]
    • In its first involvement in the election after Election Day, the Supreme Court issues an order signed by Justice Samuel Alito, commanding all Pennsylvania election boards to separately count the mail-in ballots that arrived after Election Day.[851]
    • Pennsylvania State Senate majority leader Jake Corman shoots down rumors that the GOP-controlled Pennsylvania Legislature would bypass the state's popular vote and automatically appoint presidential electors pledged to Trump.[852][853]
    • During an evening address, Biden reiterates that he is not yet claiming victory, but based on the counts, "What's becoming clear each hour is that a record number of Americans of all races, faiths and religions, chose change over more of the same. They've given us a mandate for action on COVID, the economy, on climate change and systemic racism. They made it clear they want the country to come together not continue to pull apart."[854]
  • November 7:
    • The Associated Press, Fox News, and the other major networks call Pennsylvania for Biden, thus putting him above the required 270 electoral votes to be named President-elect.[855][856]
    • It is also determined that both Biden and Trump have exceeded Barack Obama's 2008 record for the most popular votes received by the presidential candidate.[857]
    • Reacting to the news of Biden's projected victory, his supporters celebrate in the streets of various cities across the county.[858][859]
    • Biden issues a statement saying that "With the campaign over, it's time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation".[860] He and Harris later make evening addresses to the nation at the Chase Center in Wilmington, with Biden saying "This is the time to heal in America".[861]
    • Instead of conceding, Trump insists he is still proceeding with his legal challenges, releasing a statement saying that "this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor ... until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands".[860][862]
    • Trump supporters protest in front of various state capitol buildings across the country.[863]
    • Trump files a lawsuit in the Arizona Superior Court alleging that in-person ballots were improperly rejected in Maricopa County, Arizona.[864]

    • During a press conference in which he unveils his COVID-19 task force, Biden urges every American to put aside their political differences, saying that "I will be a president for everyone ... This election is over. It's time to put aside the partisanship and the rhetoric that is designed to demonize one another."[868][869]
    • Biden's transition team suggests that they are contemplating legal action against Murphy and the GSA over refusing to allow them to formally begin work.[870]
    • Barr authorizes the DOJ to investigate voter fraud "if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities", going against precedent to not investigate fraud until an election is finalized and prompting the Election Crime Branch's director to resign.[871]
    • Trump's team files a lawsuit in a federal district court in Pennsylvania, seeking an injunction prohibiting Pennsylvania from certifying its results, alleging (among other things) it used an illegal "two-tiered" system in which in-person and by-mail voters were held to different standards.[872]
    • The Pennsylvania Supreme Court agrees to hear Trump's appeal regarding the claims that his poll observers were restricted from inspecting the counting in Philadelphia.[873]

    • Deadline for mail-in ballots to be received and counted towards the record-breaking national popular vote totals in Minnesota,[878] Mississippi,[879] New Jersey,[880] and New York.[881]

    • A group of ten Republican state attorneys general file an amicus brief with the Supreme Court supporting Trump's case challenging the Pennsylvanian late mail-in ballots.[883]
    • The New York Times reports that it has contacted the offices of the top election officials in at least 45 states and not one of them suspect or have evidence of voting fraud.[884]

    • The Nevada Supreme Court dismisses the Trump campaign's appeal challenging Clark County, Nevada's election processes, ruling that there was no evidence of wrongdoing.[886] In light of the ruling, the Trump campaign drops their challenges seeking to stop the Clark County ballot counting.[887]

    • Two coalitions of federal and state election officials, the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council, issue a joint statement saying, "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.[890]
    • A Pennsylvania state court rules in favor of Trump, stating that Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar "lacked statutory authority" to extend a deadline for mail-in voters who still needed to submit proof of identification. Boockvar had moved the deadline from November 9 to November 12. Thus the court orders the state to toss out those such ballots that were cured during the extended deadline period. The Philadelphia Inquirer estimates that the number of ballots that will be tossed out is small and not significantly cut into Biden's lead.[891][892]
  • November 13:
    • Deadline for mail-in ballots to be received by election officials, and thus added to the record-breaking national popular vote totals, in Ohio[893] and Maryland.[894]
    • The Trump campaign drops an Arizona lawsuit based on claims by some voters who allege that poll workers mishandled ballots rejected by the tabulation machines, as the number of votes potentially being contested would not overcome Biden's lead in the state.[895]

    • The Third Circuit Court in Wayne County, Michigan rejects a petition by two Republican poll challengers seeking to stop the county's vote certification, alleging fraud by poll workers.

    • The Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia rejects five Trump petitions challenging five separate batches of votes in which voters failed to either print their names under their signature or print their address on the outer envelope of their mail-in ballot. The court ruled that Philadelphia County's Board of Elections does not make it absolutely mandatory because the information is already pre-printed on those envelopes.[899]
  • November 14:
    • Trump criticizes the Georgia ballot recount as a "waste of time", claiming that his campaign's observers are not being let into the counting rooms.[900]
    • Groups of Trump supporters hold "MAGA-palooza" and "Million Maga March" rallies in Washington, D.C. to show their support for Trump's court challenges.[901][902][903] Following the rally, Trump supporters clash with counter-protesters.[904]
  • November 15: In a series of tweets, Trump states that Biden "won because the Election was Rigged", referencing an unproven conspiracy theory held by right wing groups alleging that voter tabulation machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems had been compromised, resulting in millions of votes for Trump being deleted or switched to Biden. Trump further tweets that Biden "only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I concede NOTHING! We have a long way to go."[905][906]
  • November 16:
    • As the Georgia recount continues, more than 2,600 votes are reportedly uncovered in Floyd County because of a ballot scanning machine's memory card that did not properly get uploaded on Election Day.

    • Raffensperger announces that an audit of Georgia's voting machines found no evidence of tampering.[912]
    • Raffensperger later appears in an interview with WSB-TV, claiming that Trump suppressed his own voting base in Georgia: "Twenty-four thousand people did not vote in the fall; either they did not vote absentee because they were told by the president 'don't vote absentee, it's not secure,' ... But then they did not come out and vote in person."[913]
  • November 17–18: All 72 Wisconsin counties complete their canvassing of the election results by the state's November 17 deadline.[914] Trump then on the following day applies for recounts in Dane and Milwaukee counties.[915]
