The world is eager to know who will become the President of the United States and vote counting for the same is underway. So far, of 270, Joe Biden garnered 264 votes while Donald Trump stands behind him at 214 electoral votes.

However, the result of five fate deciding states is yet to be ascertained which will actually reveal the name of the upcoming President. 

Meanwhile, an interesting question arises in the minds of people and all thanks to Trump for this. Since the vote-counting commenced, Trump claimed that the election is a fraud and votes are being fabricated. 

Going by the media reports on US results and Trump's rigidity to accept the truth has pointed towards a pertinent query if Trump faces defeat, will he vacate the White House? 

We will have to wait for this. However, the tradition in the United States is that the new President takes oath on January 20, inauguration day. White House is decorated according to the winning candidate. And a few days prior to this, the president (or candidate) who has lost or completed two terms vacates the White House. 

What Biden wants to say on this?

According to a New York Post report, Biden was asked in June - if Trump shows resentment to leave the White House after losing? Biden's answer was yes, it could be. But, if this happens, the military will forcefully pull them out of the White House. Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Miley says- We would never want the military to be used to settle electoral matters. If this happens, the courts and the US Congress will resolve it. What role does the army play in it?

I'll stay in the White House only!! 

According to the report, this situation has never arisen in the political history of the United States where a losing President had refused to leave the White House. But, this time Trump's character and statements are being combined and analyzed, therefore some apprehensions are there. Many times Trump has said there will be no need to transfer the power, I will remain in the White House. 

However, his statement is now being analyzed as a threat, and also, it is a legal matter. If Trump did not come out, he might have to knock on the door of the US Supreme Court.
