Former President Donald Trump insists that he “never” conceded that he lost the election to President Joe Biden.
During an interview on Real America’s Voice, Trump said, “No, I never admitted defeat. We have a lot of things happening right now… All you have to do is read the newspapers and see what’s coming out now. The word is concede. I have not conceded.”

Since losing the election, Trump has repeated the unfounded claim that widespread fraud tilted the election results in Biden’s favor.
At a separate point in the interview, Trump said he was “disappointed” with former Vice President Mike Pence for not trying to overturn the results of the election — which Pence did not have the power to do.
“Well, I’ve always liked Mike, and I’m very disappointed that he didn’t send it back to the legislatures. When you have more votes than you have voters in some cases and when you have the kind of things that are, that were known in many cases they were known then, but they’re certainly getting better and better known now,” Trump said.
He continued, “I was disappointed that he didn’t send it back. I felt he had the right to send it back, and he should’ve sent it back. That’s my opinion…I think you would have found that you might very well have a different president right now had he sent ’em back.”
On Jan. 19, Trump delivered a speech in which he extended his best wishes to Biden, “This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous. We extend our best wishes, and we also want them to have luck — a very important word.”
“Now, as I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning,” he added.
Still, he did not concede that he lost the election.
