Perspectives: Trump Hasn't Yet Conceded the Election

President Donald Trump has not yet conceded the 2020 presidential election to projected winner Joe Biden. Multiple major media outlets have declared Biden the race's winner, and he's widely expected to be elected the 46th president; Trump has claimed the election was manipulated against him, and he and other Republicans have filed lawsuits alleging voter fraud and vote-counting discrepancies in several states. Voices throughout the spectrum have focused on Trump's attitudes toward the election's current state. Many, especially left-rated voices, have criticized Trump and the Republican Party for purportedly assaulting democratic values by not conceding. A Wall Street Journal editorial from Trump's former chief of staff Mick Mulvaney lays out the president's ostensible intention to "act and speak like a great president should—win or lose," once all outstanding litigation is resolved. Election law and claims of voter fraud have been a significant focus of fact-checkers on the left, right and center.
