Donald Trump has refused to accept that Joe Biden has beaten him in the US presidential election and said: ‘This isn’t over.’ The current president released a statement after Biden was named winner Saturday, saying: ‘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.’
Trump left the White House to play golf around an hour before the result was announced.
