Washington:
US First Lady Melania Trump has joined other members of her husband Donald Trump’s inner circle in asking him to accept his loss and concede defeat to President-elect Joe Biden, a source familiar with the conversations has informed.
The source said that although Melania did not comment publicly on the election, she privately expressed her opinion, CNN reported.
“She gave it away, as she often does,” the source said.
Melania had already campaigned for her husband’s re-election campaign last month. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and his senior adviser previously contacted the president to concede the election, two sources told CNN.
The move came after Trump, in a statement, said Biden “was in a hurry to pose as the winner” and the race was “far from over.”
Trump claimed the networks were helping the Democrat “falsely” pose as the winner and vowed to fight the results in court, The Hill reported.
President-elect Joe Biden defeated Trump in a hotly contested election, securing his victory with a victory in the state of Pennsylvania that saw him surpass the threshold of 270 Electoral College votes.
In his third attempt at the White House, Biden, a Washington figure of four decades as senator and then vice president, received over 74 million votes, 4 million more than Trump, and more than any other. presidential candidate.
