Though Trump didn’t outrightly concede, he cryptically insisted that his case for overturning Biden’s victory “STRONGLY continues.”
“We will keep up the good fight, and I believe we will prevail!” tweeted Trump, who has barely been seen in public since losing the election.

She has been harassed, threatened, and abused – and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA. Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good…— Donald J.
