Inching toward exit, Trump says he'll leave

Bid for 2024?

Asked whether he would attend Biden's inauguration, Trump said he knew the answer but didn't want to share it yet.

As for whether he plans to formally declare his candidacy to run again in 2024, as he has discussed with aides, Trump said he didn't "want to talk about 2024 yet".

All states must certify their results before the Electoral College meets on Dec 14, and any challenge to the results must be resolved by Dec 8. States have already begun that process, including Michigan, where Trump and his allies tried and failed to delay the process, and Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Biden won by wide margins in both the Electoral College and popular vote, where he received nearly 80 million votes, a record, according to major media outlets.
