    Jared Kushner, Melania Trump advise Trump to accept election loss

    (CNN)President Donald Trump's inner circle is beginning to split over his ongoing refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election, as Jared Kushner and first lady Melania Trump advised him to come to terms with President-elect Joe Biden's victory and his adult sons pressed him and allies to keep fighting.
    Kushner, the President's son-in-law and senior adviser, has approached him to concede, two sources told CNN. The first lady, according to a separate source familiar with the conversations, has privately said the time has come for him to accept the election loss.
    Meanwhile, Trump's two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, have urged allies to continue pressing on and they have pushed Republicans and supporters to publicly reject the results even as CNN and other news organizations projected the race for Biden on Saturday.

    Putin, Xi and other strongmen haven't congratulated Biden yet. Their silence speaks volumes

    Congratulations have been pouring in for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris from leaders around the world -- but not all have been forthcoming in acknowledging the projected victors of the 2020 US presidential election.
    Among the notable holdouts are the strongmen who President Donald Trump has cozied up to and heaped praise upon over the last four years. Trump's affinity for authoritarian leaders across the globe has been one of the few constants during his chaotic time in office.
    In staying silent, these leaders have spoken volumes about the types of relationships they anticipate having with the new administration.

    US election: Trump camp vows legal fight just began

    US President Donald Trump's spokeswoman has vowed the legal battle to contest Joe Biden's White House election victory is only just beginning.
    "This election is not over," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told a news conference. "Far from it."
    She made a flurry of allegations of election corruption, although no evidence of systemic fraud that might have influenced the result has emerged.
    Mr Trump, a Republican, has not conceded the race.

    Biden beat Trump by less than 276,000 votes in key swing states

    The margins were tighter in the crucial battleground states that Biden secured to win the Electoral College count.

    Biden is ahead of Trump by 275,351 votes in six key states – Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada. As of Monday evening Biden was ahead of the president by 15,432 votes in Arizona, a slim 11,595 in Georgia, 45,475 in Pennsylvania, 146,123 in Michigan, 20,540 in Wisconsin, and 36,186 in Nevada.

    It was a similar story four years ago, although Trump's margin of victory over Clinton was smaller.

    Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – three states that had been carried by the Democrats in presidential elections for a quarter century – by just 78,000 votes over 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The combined 46 electoral votes in all three states were enough to put Trump over the top. And Trump carried Florida’s 29 electoral votes by a margin of just under 113,000.

    Biden: Trump refusal to concede 'an embarrassment'

    Joe Biden has said President Donald Trump's refusal to concede defeat in last week's White House election is "an embarrassment".
    But the US president-elect - who has been making contact with foreign leaders - insisted nothing would stop the transfer of power.
    Mr Trump meanwhile tweeted he would ultimately win the race that all major TV networks have forecast he lost.
    As happens every four years, US media projected the election victor.
    None of the state-by-state results have yet been certified, several vote counts are continuing, and the outcome will only be set in stone once the US Electoral College meets on 14 December.

    Trump administration removes senior defense officials and installs loyalists, triggering alarm at Pentagon

    Washington (CNN)The Trump administration has carried out sweeping changes atop the Defense Department's civilian leadership structure, removing several of its most senior officials and replacing them with perceived loyalists to the President.
    The flurry of changes, announced by the Department of Defense in a statement roughly 24 hours after President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper, have put officials inside the Pentagon on edge and fueled a growing sense of alarm among military and civilian officials, who are concerned about what could come next.
    Four senior civilian officials have been fired or have resigned since Monday, including Esper, his chief of staff and the top officials overseeing policy and intelligence. They were replaced by perceived Trump loyalists, including a controversial figure who promoted fringe conspiracy theories and called former President Barack Obama a terrorist.
