Refusing to accept the results and concede his defeat to Joe Biden, President Donald Trump has promised legal action in the coming days.
Trump,74, and his campaign have leveled accusations of large-scale voter fraud in Pennsylvania and other states that broke for Biden, so far without proof, the Associated Press reported.
Joe Biden, 77, secured more than 270 electoral votes defeating Donald Trump in an intense poll battle that saw the counting of votes continue for several days. This was Biden's third attempt at the White House.
