WASHINGTON – Donald Trump said he will leave the White House if Joe Biden is formally confirmed as the next US president by the electoral college.
The president has refused to accept defeat in the Nov. 3 vote, and told reporters on Thursday it would be “hard” to concede.
He also once again repeated unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud.
Biden leads Trump 306 votes to 232 under the electoral college system used to pick US presidents.
The tally is far more than the 270 needed to win, and Biden also leads the popular vote by more than six million.
Electors will meet next month to formalize the result, with the Democrat Joe Biden due to be sworn in as president on Jan. 20. (BBC)
