Now the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken. Let there be no doubt, while I strongly disagree with the court's decision, I accept it. I accept the finality of this outcome which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College. And tonight, for the sake of our unity of the people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.

Funny, it almost sounds as though he accepted it...?
@MasterLee Because he wanted to keep the count going. Once the SCOTUS stepped in, he accepted it. Unlike Trump who still hasn't accepted that he was defeated in a landslide in 2020 :)
