She is also pushing the e. U. To close ski resorts over the winter holidays. Now u. S. President donald trump says he will leave the white house if the Electoral College votes for democratic president elect joe biden. Speaking for the 1st time since the election, trump said it would be a mistake if biden were confirmed, adding it would be difficult to concede. Trump reiterated his base the claims about the election being stolen from him because of 41. 00 photos. Bidens inauguration is set to take place on january 28th. The feeling from all of this, as it went through, why did i not believe this is going to just show you a certain way. It will certainly will. And you know that. But i think that there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of january. When it speak to mike hanna, hes in washington d. C. For us. Mike, this was really the 1st time we heard from take questions since the election. And obviously that was the big one.

Now at that point to President Trump saying he will accept the Electoral College is a decision, though, if he considers it as a fraud. Well, thats not strictly true. He has got no option, but to accept that decision that is a constitutional point at which the next president is confirmed by the Electoral College. The next step is for congress to certify all of those votes. And then the inauguration on january the 20th. But President Trump insisting still that he is going to carry on fighting this election result. Continuing to have baseless charges and one must point out as well. That in more than 30 cases brought by the Trump Campaign or other republican organizations have been defeated in the countrys courts. So certainly he has no grounds whatsoever would appear to continue to cry fraud, and to continue to cast any doubt whatsoever on the result of the selection. But hes going to continue to do so. It would appear, mike hanna, that for us following everything for us in washington. D. C. , thanks so much, mike.
