Joe Biden says Trump's refusal to concede is an 'embarrassment'

Joe Biden, the projected winner of the 2020 election, has said that President Trump's refusal to concede to his victory is an "embarrassment".

Biden, a Democrat, said that he is now working to ensure a smooth transition of power from the Trump Administration.

But despite every major US network projecting that Trump, a Republican, lost the election, he tweeted that he will ultimately emerge victorious.

The American media projected the winner of the 2020 election, as it does every four years.

While the state-by-state results have not yet been certified and a number of vote counts continue, the ultimate outcome of the election will not be confirmed until the Electoral Collage meets on December 14.

As per the BBC, Biden was asked by a journalist on Tuesday what he thought of Trump's refusal to concede in the 2020 election.

"I just think it's an embarrassment, quite frankly," Biden said in Wilmington, Delaware.

"The only thing that, how can I say this tactfully, I think it will not help the president's legacy."

"At the end of the day, you know, it's all going to come to fruition on January 20," he added, referring to inauguration day.

As he prepares to assume office, the projected presidential winner has been taking calls with foreign leaders.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were among those he spoke to on Tuesday, according to the BBC.

Biden said of the calls: "I'm letting them know that America is back. We're going to be back in the game."

However, while Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris might be preparing to take over from the Trump administration, a little-known agency led by a Trump appointee is slowing down the handover.

Funding and access to federal departments for incoming administrations is handled by the General Services Administration, but it is currently refusing to accept Biden as the projected president-elect.

"We don't see anything slowing us down, quite frankly," Biden said.
