President’s comments are the closest he has come to admitting defeat in election and set stage for college vote on 14 December
Donald Trump has said that he will leave the White House if the electoral college votes for Democratic president-elect Joe Biden in the closest the outgoing president has come to conceding defeat.
Biden won the presidential election with 306 electoral college votes – many more than the 270 required – to Trump’s 232. Biden also leads Trump by more than 6 million in the popular vote tally.
