US President Donald Trump for the first time began to sound doubtful about his election prospects, telling reporters “time will tell” who occupies the White House from January 20 as he has made little headway in the courts with lawsuits.
Trump’s supporters will take to the streets on Saturday to back his unsubstantiated claims of election fraud as he pushes ahead with a flurry of long-shot legal challenges to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
Biden further solidified his victory on Friday as results from Edison Research showed him winning Georgia, giving him a final tally of 306 Electoral College votes, far more than the 270 needed to be elected president and above Trump’s 232
The 306 votes were equal to what Trump won in his 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton, which he then called a “landslide”.
Trump briefly appeared close to acknowledging the likelihood he will be leaving the White House in January during remarks at a White House event.
“This administration will not be going to a lockdown. Hopefully the, uh, whatever happens in the future – who knows which administration it will be? I guess time will tell,” Trump said in his first public remarks since Biden was projected as the election’s winner a week ago.
