Donald Trump went golfing when Joe Biden was announced as president-elect.
On his way back to the White House, Trump took a philosophical tone while posing with a bride before their wedding day: “Have a great life, right?” Trump said.
While Biden surpassed 270 electoral college votes by winning Pennsylvania, Trump refused to concede the presidential election to Joe Biden, saying the race is “far from over” and promising an intense legal fight.
It is unclear if Trump plans to make public statements today, but his campaign has been on the airwaves and promised to present legal challenges on Monday to challenge the election result.
Earlier, Trump caused confusion after announcing three times on Twitter that there will be a “great press conference” in Philadelphia just as the Associated Press and mainstream media announced Biden’s victory.

Since then, however, he has not said anything on Twitter.
