(19,264 posts)36. Zero chance Trump steps down to make Pence President not even for a pardon.
Trump will make legal challenges likely in many states. They largely will go nowhere. When it is all done Biden will win the EC with 300+ EV and become the Pres elect. Trump will remain in office until inauguration day. Normal transfer of power despite a lot of bluster by Trump for the next couple months. Trump won't attend the inauguration or welcome Biden to the White House. Trump will do ever mean spiriting thing possible between election day and inauguration day that he can be executive order. The Trump administration will not help with the transition at all but the Biden team will be staffed with experienced professionals and hit the ground running.
