Taken as his car drives away, Trump can be seen looking through the window from the backseat, talking on the phone. Hours after all major news networks called the race for Biden, Trump still has yet to indicate any plans to call Biden to concede.
In the photo of Trump watching the crowds celebrate, he appears to be mid-conversation, and it’s therefore difficult to parse his emotions. Earlier in the day, He spent the morning golfing at the Trump National Golf Course in Sterling, Virginia. He paused his activity at one point to take a picture with a bride and groom, Business Insider reports.
