President Trump refuses to concede to President-elect Joe Biden

Following numerous networks calling the 2020 presidential race for the Democratic nominee, the incumbent president issued a statement saying that he will continue to fight in court to prove he is the rightful winner. The Trump campaign has yet to provide evidence of its claims of fraud. Biden is set to potentially reach 306 electoral votes (the same amount Trump won in 2016) and currently leads Trump by more than 4 million in the popular vote.

Short article, no more at link.
But if you do look for the article, scroll down a bit.
No big surprise, but in case anyone was hoping for a slight chance for Trump to concede, well not going to happen, not real soon anyway. I thought people should know, as predictable as it is.
As a side note, if you visit the link, note that Yahoo News uses AP for data and projections, and AP scores Biden/Harris with 290 electoral votes, with only GA (16) and NC (15) left undecided. Picking up Georgia would take it to 306 EV's
New York Times gives Biden/Harris 279 electoral votes, with AZ, GA, and NC left undecided.
Edited to add: Trump's full (fool?) statement:

[div class"excerpt"]"We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don't want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.
"Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room - and then fight in court to block their access.
"So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands."
- President Donald J. Trump

At least his lawyers will keep raking in the money until RNC donors quit shelling out the cash.

(19,624 posts)He can scream pout have temper tantrums just really show what he is that much more. A persons character is most evident in defeat.
I will really enjoy seeing him dragged out of office and tossed to the curb along with his bratty grifting kids.

(14,592 posts)Trump is miniscule compared to Biden. Pence kept telling Trump to 'stay the course,' but now the deck is tilting as the Titanic - or perhaps the TRUMPtanic - sinks. They will be dragged down with Trump.
To use an image from Colbert, because I just found out from kpete that he is a huge Tolkien fan - the Republicans are like those orcs who swarmed out of the caves near the Black Gate of Mordor, and when the Ring went into the fire, the very ground went out from underneath them and they fell to ruin as the Tower of Sauron fell to ruin.

Perhaps if he had put some of this effort of fighting the outcome of the election into the national Covid-19 response perhaps he may have done better in the election. (not that i would have voted for him even in that case!)

THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!
This claim about election fraud is disputed
