US President Donald Trump has said he would leave the White House if the Electoral College declares Joe Biden the winner of the November 3 elections, even as he reiterated unsubstantiated claims about widespread voter fraud. In his Thanksgiving Day remarks, he, however, said it will be a mistake if the Electoral College were to elect Biden."It's going to be a very hard thing to concede," Trump told reporters on Thursday when asked during a press call at the White House what he will do if the Electoral College elects Biden."If they do, they made a mistake," he said. On his plans for his last Thanksgiving in the White House, Trump said, "You can't say what's first or last."It might be the "first one of the second term," he said.
Trump has allowed the official start of Biden's transition to power this week but has not yet conceded defeat. However, election officials in key battleground states have declared Biden the winner, giving him an unofficial 306-232 edge in the Electoral College that determines the outcome of US presidential contests."This was a massive fraud," Trump said of the election."We are like a Third World country," he said, referring to the voting infrastructure. "I don't know what is going to happen. I know one thing, Joe Biden did not get 80 million votes," Trump said, adding that Biden didn't beat former president Barack Obama's vote total with black voters.
