Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez branded President Donald Trump's false election victory claim "illegitimate, dangerous, and authoritarian" as counting continues in the key swing state that will decide the next president.

Trump gave a speech early Wednesday prematurely claiming to have won the election, despite millions of uncounted ballots outstanding in key states.
The president also claimed without evidence that there was electoral fraud and threatened to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Ocasio-Cortez—a figurehead of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and a prominent critic of Trump—wrote on Twitter: "Donald Trump's premature claims of victory are illegitimate, dangerous, and authoritarian. Count the votes. Respect the results.
Trump Says He's 'Already Won' The Election, Taking Case To Supreme Court
Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign, meanwhile, said Trump's remarks were "outrageous."
Campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon said Trump's remarks were "unprecedented because never before in our history has a president of the United States sought to strip Americans of their voice in a national election."
