WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he will leave the White House if the Electoral College votes for Democratic President-elect Joe Biden.

In the nearest he has come to a concession, Republican Trump said if Biden is certified the election winner by the Electoral College he will depart the White House. Biden is due to be inaugurated on Jan. 20.

The Electoral College is due to meet on Dec. 14.

Trump made the comments at the White House after speaking to U.S. troops during the traditional Thanksgiving Day address to U.S. servicemembers.

Biden won the Nov. 3 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.

Trump has so far refused to concede the election and continues to claim without evidence that the election was marred by widespread fraud, and that he and not Biden won it.

Latest comments

Maybe Trump will leave the day the electoral college confirms Biden's victory and not wait until inauguration day.
Trump must just leave the white house, we don't need drama
Lol like he has a choice
Sure there are many evidences on massive fraud - the justice will decide after all. That’s why he doesn’t concede. There is bias in this news sadly.
I am sure you will come up with another excuse after the Supreme Court refused to hear the cases.....
Could be embarrassing for him if he doesn't. It could be the smartest move he has done in last 4 years to bow out.
is this suppose to be news? : )
Thanksgiving weekend, slow news day
Xijinping ordered Joe Biden to dismantle US military in the pacific. USA will be a slave under CCP, if Joe Biden becomes president.
He dont know what he is talking about.
Since when did Americans start to fear China so much? Is everything that happening in America also has to do with China? Many will wonder if China is truly scary/intimidating or if Americans are too cynical who always seek to justify their own weaknesses. The U.S. is losing its global position while China continues to show they could become the world's laoda (老大: big boss/world leader). Now only time will tell whether the U.S. deserves remain the greatest nation in the world.
You sound like one of those Fa Lung Kung believer lol
