[ad_1]

On Thursday, the press asked President Donald Trump if he would acknowledge electoral defeat if the Electoral College votes to make Biden the next president of the United States.

– It will be very difficult to admit defeat. If they vote like this, they are making a mistake, said Trump, who also promised to leave the White House.

One thing the president did not answer was whether he would attend Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony in January.

– I don’t know what will happen. I know one thing: Joe Biden didn’t get 80 million votes, Trump said without any documentation.

Barack Obama was present at Trump’s inauguration ceremony in 2017. After a bitter defeat in the 2016 election, even Hillary Clinton ran as a former secretary of state and former first lady. Only three of the outgoing former US presidents have refused to attend the inauguration ceremony of their successor, according to CNN:

Election 2024

Four weeks have passed since Election Day, but Trump maintains that he is the rightful winner of the election and claims that the election has been rigged and cheated.

No evidence of widespread electoral fraud has been presented, and Trump’s legal war, in the form of lawsuits against tipping states, has not done much so far.

A big unanswered question is whether Trump will run for re-election in 2024. Several US outlets reported last week that he is planning a comeback, but so far he has not confirmed it himself.

Now The Daily Beast is reporting that the outgoing president is apparently trying to steal Joe Biden’s attention. He is reportedly discussing various ways to disrupt Biden’s time in the driver’s seat, and it is claimed that he plans to announce that he will run in the 2024 election.

According to three sources familiar with the talks, not only should the president have spoken with advisers and other confidants about running for re-election, but he also would have discussed specific ideas around launching a campaign.
