Trump: "I think a lot of things will happen before January 20"
The outgoing president for the first time said he will leave the White House if rival Joe Biden's victory is confirmed by the electors meeting on December 14
Donald Trump goes towards surrender: for the first time since the elections on November 3, he has made it clear that he will leave the White House if the victory of rival Joe Biden is confirmed by the electors who meet on December 14. He told reporters after the traditional Thanksgiving message to the Armed Forces.
"Are you ready to formally admit defeat if the College of Electors confirms that Democrat Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States?" It was the question of the reporters who had finally hunted him down after denying himself in the last few weeks. "It will be something very difficult to accept, because we know that there has been massive fraud," he replied. "He will then leave the White House on January 20, the day of the swearing in of the next president of the United States?" "Of course I will. And you know it," assured Trump.
Important words that come after weeks in which the head of the White House had always refused to acknowledge the victory to Biden and had continued to launch allegations of fraud which, however, have not found any land in the courts. Trump therefore seems to surrender to the evidence of the facts, obtorto neck. The College of Grand Electors will meet on December 14 to officially designate the winner of the elections. And it has always been a formality.
"I think a lot of things will happen before January 20", however, anticipated Trump, who continues to regard the electoral infrastructure of the United States as a "third world country". Trump certainly does not stop. He has already announced that he will travel to Georgia on December 5, where the election of two senators in January will determine a majority in the Senate. Biden, former Vice President of Barack Obama, won 306 voters against 232 went to Donald Trump.
He built his victory by reclaiming old Democratic strongholds that Trump won in 2016, such as Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Already last Monday, the outgoing president was forced to give the green light to the transition process between his administration and that of the elected president. Biden now has access to files, funding, and receives briefings from US intelligence services. The Democrat also has access to information regarding the Covid-19 pandemic and the progress of various vaccination projects.
