TIL Desk/World/Washington/ United States President Donald Trump not conceding defeat in the just-concluded election is an embarrassment, US President-elect Joe Biden said on Tuesday, asserting that his transition plans have remained unaffected by this and he has started talking to world leaders.
“I just think it’s an embarrassment quite frankly… It will not help the president’s legacy… I know from my discussions with foreign leaders thus far that they are hopeful that the United States’ democratic institutions are viewed once again as being strong and enduring,” Biden told reporters in Wilmington, Delaware.
Responding to questions from reporters on Trump not conceding the race, Biden hoped that at the end it’s all going to come to fruition on January 20th. “Between now and then my hope and expectation is that the American people do know and do understand that there has been a transition. Even among Republicans… who voted for the president, I understand the sense of loss. I get that,” he said.
