"President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College formalizes President-Elec Joe Biden's victory —"

I hope Trump has become politically astute enough --or has advisors that are -- to know that the election is not finalized until Jan 6th, one day after the new congress is seated.

The Electoral College meets in early December, I believe the 12th or 15th

At which time the electors, who are chosen by the 50 states' congresses, vote for the winner of the election.

Then the results are sent to the United States congress, and they are read Jan 6th.

It's my understanding that the winner will not be known until that time.

We must bear in mind that electors do not always vote the way that they indicate early on.

"...he [Trump] insisted such a decision would be a 'mistake' — as he spent his Thanksgiving renewing baseless claims that 'massive fraud' and crooked officials in battleground states caused his election defeat."

“... Trump — taking questions for the first time since Election Day — insisted that 'a lot of things' would happen between now and then that might alter the results."

AP had to put in 'baseless claims' in the article; they are so biased.

I would appreciate any members that can confirm or deny my opinion to weigh in with better information.

PS

I don't know if they release the results they get in December, if they do they could be fake news, depending who leaks the results.
