United States President Donald Trump on Thursday said for the first time that he will leave the White House if the electoral college confirms President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, CNN reported. Trump, however, added that he was not prepared to concede.
“Certainly I will, and you know that,” Trump said when a reporter asked him about leaving the White House if Biden is confirmed as the president in December. “I will and you know that.”
Trump again repeated his accusation of “massive voter fraud” in the elections and said that it would be tough for him to concede because of that. He claimed that it would be a mistake on the part of the electoral college to confirm Biden as president “cause this election was a fraud”.
This was the first time Trump answered questions from reporters since the election on November 3.
Biden has been projected to become the president with 306 electoral votes, against Trump’s tally of 232. He is likely to be confirmed by the electoral college on December 14 and sworn into office on January 20.
Trump, who has continued to deny his defeat in the election, on Monday agreed to allow the transition process to begin.
