Current US President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden. The remarks are the closest Trump has come to admitting defeat in the Nov.3 election, despite reiterating the baseless allegations of voter fraud.
Speaking to reporters on Thanksgiving, Trump said that if Democrat Joe Biden is certified as a winner by the Electoral College, he will leave the White House. “I certainly will. And you [jornalista] you know it, ”he said.
However, the current president said it would be difficult to admit defeat under the current circumstances and declined to say whether he would attend Biden’s inauguration.
On December 14 (or, as the law says, the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December), the 538 electors of the Electoral College meet in their respective states to take the last step in this indirect election: it is them, not them. million voters who went to the polls on November 3, who will elect president and vice president.
There should be no surprises at the Electoral College meeting, as voters must respect the vote of the people in their state: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will take office on January 20 and serve as President and Vice President of the United States, respectively. . .
“I think a lot will happen between now and January 20. Many things, “said Trump, insisting again that the” election was a fraud, “but without giving any concrete evidence of irregular voting, as he has done in recent weeks.
Joe Biden won the November 3 election. Trump took the fight to court, claiming time and again that the elections were fraudulent, but without presenting proof of this. There were already signs this week that the transition could begin, when the head of the administrative services of the United States government unlocked the budget for the transition process.
