Trump vows to 'fight like hell' and says that Biden 'will not take this White House'

Donald Trump has vowed to "fight like hell" to prevent incoming President-elect Joe Biden from taking the White House.

Speaking to his supporters at a rally in Georgia last night (January 4), the outgoing president shouted that there was no way that he lost the state.

Trump added that the Democrats are "not gonna take this White House" and that he was going to "fight like hell" against the result of the "rigged" election.

As per the Metro, the 45th President of the United States had made the trip in a bid to boost senate candidates in today's runoff election. However, he spent much of his speech complaining about his electoral loss, insisting that he won the 2020 presidential election by "a lot".

This came after the outgoing president pressed Republican lawmakers to formally object to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday (January 6) which will formally finalize Biden's victory.

While Trump's speech might have garnered cheers from supporters, his refusal to concede is dividing the Republican party.

Some party officials are condemning Trump's actions for undermining the American people's faith in democracy and others are encouraging him to press ahead.

Meanwhile, all living former defense secretaries wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post that "the time for questioning the results has passed."

It is unclear the extent to which Republican lawmakers will be able to control the session on Wednesday, although Mike Pence is expected to tip the results in Trump's favor.

"I promise you this: On Wednesday, we'll have our day in Congress," Pence said as he campaigned in Georgia ahead of the run-off elections on Tuesday.

Trump teased a 2024 run at the White House Christmas party: 

During the rally, Trump said of his vice president: "I hope that our great vice president comes through for us. He’s a great guy. Of course, if he doesn’t come through, I won't like him quite as much."

He added: "No, Mike is a great guy."

Meanwhile, Biden has criticized Trump for focusing on the results of the election instead of the ongoing pandemic, BBC News reports.

At a drive-in rally in Atlanta, Biden said that Trump "spends more time whining and complaining" than tackling the pandemic.

He added: "I don't know why he still wants the job - he doesn't want to do the work."
