Fox News veteran Geraldo Rivera said via Twitter Friday that President Trump would, in the end, leave the White House if states certify a victory for Joe Biden, but wants to continue to fight.
Rivera said he had a conversation with Trump Friday, which he described as a “heartfelt phone call” with a “friend.”
“He seemed like a heavyweight champion who is behind in points leading into the final round, but determined to fight on, knowing all the refs have scored the fight for the other guy,” Rivera said on Twitter. “Still, he’s going to answer the final bell, looking for the knockout he knows is a longshot.”
He also said Trump called himself “a ‘realist’ who will do the ‘right thing.’ But he wants to see “what states do in terms of certification.’ Rivera said the president “sounded committed to fighting for every vote & if he loses, talking more about all he’s accomplished.”
