Washington, Jan 7 (UNI) Incumbent US President Donald Trump has conceded defeat hours after his supporters stormed the Capitol Hill building as the Congress Congress voted to certify Joe Biden’s November election victory.
The president released a statement pledging an "orderly transition", suggesting that he would remain in frontline politics, amid speculation that he may run again in 2024.
"Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th," Mr Trump said.
"I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it's only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!"
