Trump says he will leave White House if electors vote for Biden

Current United States President Donald Trump said he would leave the White House if the Electoral College voted for Democrat Joseph Biden.

"It's a very difficult thing to concede because we know there was massive fraud. Time is on our side, everything is on our side, facts," Trump said.

The head of state called the United States a third world country because of "mass fraud" in the vote. He noted that in America there are machines for processing votes, but no one knows how they believe.

"If they [the electors] do this [vote for Biden], they will make a mistake, because this election is fraud," US President Donald Trump repeated. The American leader added that he would leave the White House if the electors voted for the Democrat.

At the same time, he noted that many things can happen before January 20. The head of state again emphasized that mass fraud was "revealed."

One of the journalists who persistently tried to ask Trump about leaving the White House, he replied: "I am the president of the United States, do not talk to me in this way."

General elections were held in the United States on November 3. According to forecasts from leading American media, Democrat Joe Biden enlisted the support of over 270 electors, whose votes are needed to win the fight for the post of head of state.

By December 12, the results of the vote for each state must be approved, in two days the members of the electoral college must vote.

On January 6 of next year, the results of the electoral college vote should be approved at a meeting of the American parliament, and the inauguration ceremony of the elected president will be held on January 20.
