‘He Won,’ Trump Tweets in a Post About the Election
HE WON #HEWON
WASHINGTON—President Trump said Sunday morning that Democrat Joe Biden “won because the election was rigged,” his first comments suggesting he believed he had lost the presidential election.
Mr. Trump later tweeted that he wasn’t conceding and said, “We will win.”
Mr. Trump hasn’t conceded the election, more than a week after Mr. Biden secured the electoral votes necessary to become the next president, according to the Associated Press and major media organizations.
Mr. Trump and many Republicans haven’t acknowledged Mr. Biden as the president-elect, although an increasing number of Senate Republicans have said Mr. Biden should receive classified intelligence briefings as part of a transition, even while backing Mr. Trump’s legal challenges to the election.
Mr. Trump continues to make allegations of widespread voter fraud. No evidence of significant voter fraud has surfaced, and acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf last week said the presidential contest was “the most secure election in U.S. history.”
