President Donald Trump will not concede the election to Democratic nominee Joe Biden, despite the electoral votes all pointing to a Biden victory. The major TV networks called the election for Biden on Saturday, without counting the former Vice President’s lead Georgia.
If Biden wins Georgia, he will have secured at least 306 electoral votes, depending on the outcome of North Carolina, where Trump leads. The results indicate a full flip since 2016, in which Trump won 304 votes.
However, despite the clear loss, Trump will not concede, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reported, that senior adviser Jared Kushner has urged him to concede.
