The Democrat is due to take over the Oval Office on January 20th.
Donald Trump says there will be an "orderly transition" after the US Congress certified Joe Biden's win in November's presidential election.

Ms. Novak Crossan believes the Republican Party will have to rebuild itself in the aftermath of Trump's presidency:
