United States President Donald Trump on Friday appeared to come closest yet to accepting his defeat in the 2020 elections as he declared that his administration will not order a new lockdown to control the coronavirus, CNN reported.
“I will not – this administration will not be doing a lockdown,” Trump said during a speech at the White House about vaccine development efforts. “Hopefully whatever happens in the future – who knows which administration it will be? I guess time will tell.”
Trump added that his administration will be “very vigilant and very careful” but not impose a lockdown under any circumstances.
The US president’s remarks came after the media projected results in two uncalled states. Trump was projected to win North Carolina, according to The Washington Post, while President-elect Joe Biden was projected to secure Georgia. With this, Biden was projected to get 306 electoral votes, while Trump would bag 232.
