Will Trump give a concession speech or congratulate Biden?

If not, he'll break more than a century of tradition

WASHINGTON – If an election is like a war between opposing armies, then the presidential concession speech is the peace treaty.

Right now, President Donald Trump is still firing away, and he shows no sign of leaving the battlefield – let alone offering an olive branch to his rival Joe Biden, who appeared Thursday to be on the verge of clinching the 270 Electoral College votes needed to prevail in the presidential election.

Trump is not known for admitting fault or failure. And he is more prone to stoking divisions than healing them, as his Twitter feed in recent days has demonstrated.

As Biden inched closer to a win, Trump took the podium to make a series of baseless claims about election fraud and to accuse Democrats of trying to "steal" the election, while offering no evidence of illegal activity.

They'll probably have to drag his ass out of the White House when his term is through.

And he'll deem it the most gracious exit speech of any president in history, all while calling Biden and all democrats crooks.
