Following numerous networks calling the 2020 presidential race for the Democratic nominee, the incumbent president issued a statement saying that he will continue to fight in court to prove he is the rightful winner. The Trump campaign has yet to provide evidence of its claims of fraud. Biden is set to potentially reach 306 electoral votes (the same amount Trump won in 2016) and currently leads Trump by more than 4 million in the popular vote.

Short article, no more at link.

But if you do look for the article, scroll down a bit.

No big surprise, but in case anyone was hoping for a slight chance for Trump to concede, well not going to happen, not real soon anyway. I thought people should know, as predictable as it is.

As a side note, if you visit the link, note that Yahoo News uses AP for data and projections, and AP scores Biden/Harris with 290 electoral votes, with only GA (16) and NC (15) left undecided. Picking up Georgia would take it to 306 EV's

New York Times gives Biden/Harris 279 electoral votes, with AZ, GA, and NC left undecided.

Edited to add: Trump's full (fool?) statement:

[div class"excerpt"]"We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don't want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.

"Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room - and then fight in court to block their access.

"So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands."

- President Donald J. Trump

Caligula returns to the White House to scenes of crowds celebrating his defeat --

[BootinUp]

1. I believe theres a Tiedrich tweet for that

[BusyBeingBest]

2. He doesn't need to concede. That's what normal leaders do.

He just needs to be picked up and carried out in January.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

23. It takes a big man to accept defeat and concede.

Trump is a little man.

At least his lawyers will keep raking in the money until RNC donors quit shelling out the cash.

[David__77]

3. That's fine.

...

[soothsayer]

4. He just needs to bleed magats for donations

That’s all this is

[Mike 03]

5. I'm shocked by how little of a shit I give about Trump conceding.

[icwlmuscyia]

6. Of course he won't - this may be one of the best grifting opportunities of his life

[christx30]

26. And probably his best and only chance to escape state

prosecution for multiple accusations of sexual assault and financial crimes.

[CatMor]

7. He always has been crude and classless so nothing's changed...

thought this would be his reaction.

[durablend]

8. Hey, he's got two choices On January 20th

Leave quietly or be dragged out in handcuffs. His choice.

[bdamomma]

9. I read they

know how to remove trespassers!!!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

10. Good! Go out as classless as ever, Covid-Donnie! nt

[relayerbob]

11. I know what the Biden campaign is hiding

The full list of criminal charges against you and your family, traitor

[burrowowl]

16. Hillary for Special Prosecutor! Lock him up!

[noneof_theabove]

12. Crude, Rude and Socially unacceptable

Hope tRump enjoys running is new island domain - Rikers Island Maximum Security Penitentiary.

Just remember you won - 20 to Life.

See the SDNY officer on your way out for your first loser prize.
Ask for Bubba when you get there.


handcuffs

[SergeStorms]

13. Who cares?

On January 20, 2021 you're impeached ex-president Donald Trump. Right now you're asshole-in-chief Mango Mussolini. Shut-up, and go away.

[3825-87867]

14. And if tramp wrote that

I'll be the next president of the Federation's Space Force.

[Dopers_Greed]

15. Not "certified"?

It's never certified until after it's been called.

Fucking idiot.

[dalton99a]

17. Kick

18. Who cares what he does anymore?

Joe Biden is the next president and there’s nothing Mango Mussolini can do about it except throw a tantrum.

[Yeehah]

19. He knows the Manhattan DA and the IRS are waiting for him

LMAO at his squirming!

[George II]

45. Don't forget Letitia James, NYS Attorney General.

[BlueMTexpat]

20. He'll act like a spoiled brat

until he is forced out!

[CanonRay]

21. Biden is now the duly elected President-elect

and so they are getting very close to seditious behavior, inciting rebellion, IMHO

[JohnnyRingo]

22. They better keep him away from Fox news then.

The chyron has been up for an hour: "Joe Biden Elected 46th President".
Other than some nonsense from Rudy, everyone on air agrees.

[GETPLANING]

24. - President Donald J. Trump

That's "Impeached President Donald J. Trump."

[ResistantAmerican17]

25. Classless shitbird till the fucker dies. Please proceed Donald.

[NBachers]

27. Fuck off, donnie

[Dave Starsky]

28. This guy LOVES being on television

Ask him which plays better on camera, when repeated again and again on TV for the rest of history: walking out confident, smiling, and square-shouldered, or being carried out by Secret Service in handcuffs. I think even he might understand that.

[jalan48]

29. He's crapping in his pants because he knows what's coming once he's no longer President.

[wolfie001]

30. DON THE CON IS GONE!!!!

Buh Bye to that nasty fuck.

[dhill926]

31. Bye Don...

and fuck yourself on the way out...

[cayugafalls]

32. Zip ties and a straight jacket will solve this problem...no worries.

I really don't care, do you? Dump can go f himself...

It is the People's House, Not dumps.

Carry on.

[Paladin]

33. Did ANYONE expect better behavior than this? ANYBODY?

I sure as hell didn't.

[orangecrush]

43. Nope

[progree]

34. (5 sec. video) A man wearing a Puerto Rican flag tosses paper towel over the White House fence

"Never forget" he said.

[hadEnuf]

35. Nobody cares if his fascist ass concedes.

He lost. SO MUCH LOSING!

[steve2470]

36. fuck him, as long as he leaves the White House I am happy

If he refuses to leave, I look forward to the MSNBC and CNN et all coverage of his obese ass being dragged physically from the White House.

[C Moon]

37. Now the fence comes into play. He'll bring down the whole Republican party before doing that.

Let's see how much money the RNC gets for his lawyers now.

[George II]

38. The FBI's got this covered:

39. Caligula returns to the White House to scenes of crowds celebrating his defeat 😂😂😂 pic --

[turbinetree]

40. You think its time to send him a orange jumpsuit and also for his kids, and the US Attorney General

and all of the enablers of this traitor......................I really want to see him do the perp walk...........and all of the others right behind him.............no fucking pity, none zilch, zero, nada...................he has Blood on his Hands................

[orangecrush]

41. ....

[Woodwizard]

42. Good

He can scream pout have temper tantrums just really show what he is that much more. A persons character is most evident in defeat.

I will really enjoy seeing him dragged out of office and tossed to the curb along with his bratty grifting kids.

[DeminPennswoods]

44. Cafone!

That is all.

[PatrickforO]

46. Trump showing what a mean spirited, hateful, hate-filled, small-minded man he really is.

Trump is miniscule compared to Biden. Pence kept telling Trump to 'stay the course,' but now the deck is tilting as the Titanic - or perhaps the TRUMPtanic - sinks. They will be dragged down with Trump.

To use an image from Colbert, because I just found out from kpete that he is a huge Tolkien fan - the Republicans are like those orcs who swarmed out of the caves near the Black Gate of Mordor, and when the Ring went into the fire, the very ground went out from underneath them and they fell to ruin as the Tower of Sauron fell to ruin.

[bucolic_frolic]

47. I hear there's a very big crowd celebrating outside the White House!

[logosoco]

48. He is too conceited to concede.

That takes honor and decency.

Perhaps if he had put some of this effort of fighting the outcome of the election into the national Covid-19 response perhaps he may have done better in the election. (not that i would have voted for him even in that case!)

[bucolic_frolic]

49. I believe the destination is apoplexy

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!
This claim about election fraud is disputed

51. Meh, who cares?
