US President-Elect, Joe Biden blasted Donald Trump for seeking to overturn the November 3 election results during a rally in Atlanta.
“This administration has gotten off to a God-awful start,” Biden said of Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 vaccine.
“The president spends more time whining and complaining than doing something about the problem. I don’t know why he still wants the job. He doesn’t want to do the work.”
Trump, a Republican, is yet to concede the elections and has filed several lawsuits challenging the presidential poll result that gave Biden, a Democrat the required Electoral College votes to be the 46th US President.

Trump alleges that there was a massive voter fraud. Election officials and the media have said that there is no evidence to back his claims. He has also lost dozens of lawsuits.
Joe Biden’s remarks come one day after the Washington Post shared audio from a leaked phone conversation where Trump privately urged the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes,” which would be enough to flip the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia in his favor.
Joe Biden was confirmed the winner of the presidential election by the Electoral College on December 14 after all 50 states officially certified the voting results.
According to official results, Biden collected 306 electoral votes as opposed to 232 votes cast for Trump. To win the presidential election, the winner must get at least 270 out of the 538 Electoral College votes.
The US Congress will meet on January 6 to formally certify the Electoral College and Biden’s victory. Biden’s inauguration is set for January 20.
