Trump can be escorted out of White House warns Biden’s campaign

Washington, Nov 07: President Donald Trump was warned by the Joe Biden campaign that he would be escorted from the White House if refused to admit defeat in the US polls.

Trump has made it clear that he is not ready to concede and has claimed that there has been voter fraud.

"As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House," said Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates.

According to latest US media projections, Biden pulled ahead of Trump in Georgia. He has also taken the lead over Trump in Pennsylvania.

Trump cannot find a route to 270 electoral votes without Georgia and Pennsylvania, so his chances of securing reelection will hinge on developments in the two key battleground states.

Georgia's 16 electoral votes would be enough to guarantee at least a tie in the 538-member Electoral College, pending results from the other uncalled states. Pennsylvania, which has 20 electoral college votes would single-handedly deliver the White House to Biden.

Reacting to the latest developments, the senior Trump aide told Fox News that the president's counsellors have been giving him advice in both directions, with some telling Trump that a concession is a correct thing to do, and others pushing him to continue to fight to ensure the vote was correct and legitimate.

The aide, who was not identified, told Trump's favourite news channel that the president is "simply skeptical."

"He warned about this for months," the aide said. "The media didn't take it seriously, and now, here we are with the scenario."

The aide said, though, that the president "may ultimately concede."

"He's just not there yet," the aide added.
