Jason Miller, a senior adviser to US President Donald Trump’s re-election effort, said Monday that the campaign was not remotely considering conceding to President-elect Joe Biden after the Democratic nominee was declared the winner of the 2020 White House race.
“That word is not even in our vocabulary right now,” Miller said in an interview on Fox Business.
“We’re going to go and pursue all these legal means, all the recount methods,” he said. “We’re going to continue exposing and investigating all these instances of fraud or abuse, and make sure … [that] the American public can have full confidence in these elections.”
