President Trump released a statement early Thursday morning in response to Congress certifying the Electoral College vote, which confirmed Joe Biden’s win, assuring “an orderly transition” will take place despite his objections to the 2020 election.

“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20^th,” he said.
