President Donald Trump is conceding to President-elect Joe Biden and condemning the violent supporters of his who stormed the nation’s Capitol.
In a new video message Thursday, Trump says that now that Congress has certified the results, the “new administration will be inaugurated on Jan. 20” and his “focus now turns to ensuring a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power.”
Trump did not address his role in inciting the violence. But in the video, he tells his supporters that, while he knows they are “disappointed,” he wants them to know “our incredible journey is only just beginning.”

How bad it must hurt the seditious Trump supporters egged on by him for months, to know watch him concede and throw them under the bus for the riot he encouraged.

I don't feel even a little bad.#TrumpConceded
They shot the video on green screen so it would be easier to edit out Mike Pence holding a gun to Donald Trump's head#TeleprompterTrump #ImpeachTrumpNow #TrumpConceded

#TrumpConceded and all it took was four deaths, sixty arrests, and the first breach of the Capitol building since 1814.

The Cabinet & VP should *still* enact the #25thAmendmentNow
Trump's concession changes NOTHING. pic.twitter.com/21P5mXa1gw
Trump literally sent his henchmen to war and then disowned them when he got in trouble for it.

He never cared about his base. They were always just pawns to leverage personal political power.#TrumpConceded #Trump

Okay, he conceded, and came as close as he'll ever get to admitting he legitimately lost. Given the stilted, scripted nature of this, would love to know whether cabinet members demanded he do this or face mass resignations or the 25th -- that is, how they got got him to do this. https://t.co/3fx9BX509R

Teleprompter Trump has spoken. There are 13 days left in his presidency for the unscripted Trump to return.

It took 65 days, 63 court rejections, a 9-0 SCOTUS loss, a white supremacist insurrection on Capitol Hill that resulted in 4 deaths, 1 police officer death, 57 officers injured, 68 arrests, and at least 2 bombs—but it appears Trump has finally conceded the election#TrumpConceded
