What is Trump’s Opinion on leaving the White House?
Reporters asked Trump on Thursday, either he would agree to leave the White House in case of defeat in the electoral college vote? He replied he would definitely leave the White House. Though, he went on to say that if they do elect Biden, they made a mistake, and also suggested that he might never accept defeat.
He wouldn’t say whether he would attend the inauguration ceremony of Biden. The usual routine transitioning process from one president to coming president and confirming the result disrupted by Trump’s refusal to concede. Under the United States electoral system, voters don’t directly elect the next president. However, they vote for 538 officials, who allocated to U.S. states based on their population size.

Whereas, Biden celebrated a quiet Thanksgiving on Thursday, as COVID-19 cases in the United States continue to rise.
Earlier this week, the president-elect urged the U.S. nations to hold smaller Thanksgiving celebrations, saying that indeed, they will beat the virus. A few days back, Biden announced his choice of top officials for when he takes over responsibilities from Trump in January and said that co-operation from the White House during the transition had been sincere.
