‘We’re never leaving’: Trump vowed to stay in office despite election loss, book reveals

Former President Donald Trump repeatedly told his aides that he wouldn’t leave the White House despite his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election, according to a new book.

After the presidential race was called in favor of Biden, Trump seemed to acknowledge he had lost, according to a forthcoming book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman. However, as time went on, Trump’s mood seemed to shift as he began abruptly telling aides he would not leave the White House.

“I’m just not going to leave,” Trump told one aide, according to the forthcoming book Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America obtained by CNN.

“We’re never leaving,” he said to another. “How can you leave when you won an election?”

The previously unreported details offer a glimpse into the chaos at the White House after the 2020 election when Trump began seeking ways to overturn the results of the election and remain in office. The revelations come as the former president is the subject of several investigations into his efforts to undermine the 2020 election.

Those efforts have especially been scrutinized by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack as lawmakers seek to draw a connection between his efforts and the Capitol riot. The committee held several public hearings over the summer, and lawmakers are set to reconvene later this month and publish its final report this fall.

Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America is set to be released on Oct. 4.
