TRUMP HINTS AT WHITE HOUSE EXIT
Following the winning of 290 electoral college votes, Joe Biden who is the Democratic Party candidate is projected to have won the 2020 presidential election.
Trump has not conceded the election. His campaign has claimed voter fraud, while thre president himself has said 2.7 million of his votes were taken away from him.
The major news agencies in the US oppose Trump’s claims. Trump is on his way to becoming the US president who took the longest time to concede an election in recent history.
In his speech on Friday, the president said his administration is not going to lockdown the economy, but adds that “hopefully… whatever happens in the future, who knows which admin. it will be, I guess time will tell”.
That will be Trump’s first admission of a possible White House exit since the elections were called for Biden.
