The Trump campaign on Friday lost its effort to overturn the election results and the president-elect called for all Americans to come together. Joe Biden’s victory over President Donald Trump was reaffirmed by the presidential electors in state-by-state votes and he edged closer to the White House.
The results of the Electoral College voting ensure that the Democrat will be inaugurated on Jan. 20. The voting took on added importance this year because of Trump’s refusal to concede he lost his bid for reelection. With the pandemic worsening, the nation is facing a long winter.
While Trump has refused to accept the outcome of the election, he could be forced out of the White House. President Trump faces the strong possibility of being removed from office as President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2021.
Trump continues to make baseless claims of voter fraud without presenting any evidence. The transition period between the two administrations has raised concerns about national security and the distribution of the coronavirus vaccine.
