US President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College votes for Democrat Joe Biden.

"I certainly will, and you know it," Trump assured reporters at the White House.

A few hours earlier, he had claimed to have "all the evidence" that would demonstrate the alleged electoral fraud of the presidential pasts of November 3, so he has asked a group of Republican senators in a ceremony held in Pennsylvania for their support to "give the return to the elections ”.

The president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, has made official this Tuesday the composition of the team that will make up his Cabinet.

After Donald Trump authorized the formal start of the transition of power on Monday, although without giving his rival as the winner, the Democrat has given a press conference accompanied by those who will make up his government team.

Among them were vice president-elect, Kamala Harris, and the next secretary of state, Antony Blinken.

"The United States is back, ready to lead the world," said Biden, whose victory in the states of Pennsylvania and Nevada has been certified by authorities on Tuesday.

Emily Murphy, the director of the General Services Administration, has already allocated the necessary funds for the Republican and Democratic teams to get to work on the handover, scheduled for January 20.

Trump announced his decision in a thread on Twitter.

"In the best interest of our country, I ask Emily and her team to do whatever is necessary to initiate the protocol," he said about the instructions he has given to the person in charge of the presidential transition.
