DONALD TRUMP accepted that a formal transition should begin for the next president to take office today after weeks of refusing to concede, but promised to continue “the good fight.”

It came after President Trump suffered further legal and procedural defeats in his attempts to overturn the results with baseless claims of fraud and vote-rigging. 

General Services Administration official Emily Murphy gave the green light for President-elect Joe Biden on Monday to co-ordinate with federal agencies ahead of his January 20 inauguration.
