Trump will leave White House if Electoral College seats Biden

The US President Donald Trump said that he will leave the White Houe if Electoral College formalises President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory. 

He made the remark on Thursday when asked whether he would vacate the building and allow a peaceful transition of power in January or not, reports AP. 

“Certainly I will. But you know that” he said while insisting that “a lot of things” would happen between now and then that might alter the election results. 

Even though he lost, Trump said, “This has a long way to go.”

This is the first time Trump took questions since Election Day. He spoke to reporters in the White House’s ornate Diplomatic Reception Room after holding  a teleconference with US military leaders stationed across the globe. 

He thanked the military leaders for their service and jokingly warned them not to eat too much turkey during thanksgiving. 

During the teleconference, he repeatedly denounced officials in Georgia and Pennsylvania, two of the key swing states that helped give Biden the win.
