Biden terms Trump's refusal to concede 'an embarrassment'

Washington: Joe Biden, who is waiting for transfer of power, calls President Donald Trump's refusal to concede victory "an embarrassment".

BBC reports that Biden has been making contact with foreign leaders.

The President-elect phoned foreign leaders including UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to BBC.

Mr Trump appears to be sticking to his guns tweeting that he would ultimately win the race.

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, BBC reported.

Trump tweeted saying " we will win!" while alleging "massive ballot counting abuse", which Twitter labeled as disputed.
