Trump Refuses to Concede 2020 Election, Claims Widespread Fraud

After major news organizations declared Joe Biden the president-elect on November 7, 2020, President Trump refused to concede and claimed the election was "far from over." Trump alleged widespread voter fraud without providing evidence and filed dozens of lawsuits in battleground states, all of which were ultimately rejected by courts. The refusal to concede launched a months-long campaign to overturn election results.
