US President, Donald Trump promised to leave the White House if Joe Biden is formally confirmed as the next US president.
This development was triggered by the speculations from the public that he will do otherwise when Biden is confirmed the next president, BBC reports.
While reacting to the situation, Mr Trump insisted, however, that “this race is far from over” while answering reporters’ questions for the first time since losing the 3 November vote.
Meanwhile, Trump has refused to concede, citing unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud.
Interestingly, individual states are currently certifying their results, after Mr Biden was projected as the winner with an unassailable lead.
O the result, the Democrat leads Mr Trump 306 votes to 232 under the Electoral College system that is used to pick US presidents.
Mr Biden also leads the popular vote by more than six million but the tally is far more than the 270 needed to win, and
With Mr Biden due to be sworn in as president on 20 January, electors will meet to formalise the result on 14 December.
After the election the president and his supporters have lodged a number of legal challenges over the election, but most have been dismissed.
Following several weeks of uncertainty, Mr Trump finally agreed to allow the formal transition to President-elect Biden’s team to begin, earlier this week.
