U.S: Trump vows ‘never to concede’ defeat as imminent White House exit beckons

* Protesters overwhelm security, overrun Capitol Hill

DONALD Trump has told thousands of supporters gathered in Washington DC: “we will never concede” the presidential election.

President Trump addressed a “Save America” rally on the Ellipse, just south of the White House, following speeches by his son, Eric and Donald Jr.

He urged Vice President Mike Pence to help overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the November election when Congress sits later to certify the Electoral College votes.

“If Mike Pence does the right thing we win the election,” Trump said.

“All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify and we become president and you are the happiest people,” declared Trump, who lost the November 3 election by as much as seven million votes to his democrat rival, Joe Biden.

The new president, Biden, is expected to assume office on January 20, alongside his vice, Senator Kamala Harris.

Shortly after his speech in which he urged them to march down to Capitol Hill and let “your voice be heard”, hundreds of his supporters stormed the building, where the joint session of the legislature was happening to count the electoral votes that would lead to certification of Biden as president.

According to AFP, the supporters were “shouting and waving Trump and American flags and forcing a halt to congressional deliberations over challenges to Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.

“Senators were being evacuated. Some House lawmakers tweeted they were sheltering in place in their offices.”
