Maybe a plea bargain, conceding defeat in return for a blanket pardon of all past, present and future criminal charges.
Useless. Conceding is not required, it's just a courtesy, so it can't be used as a bargain chip in that manner.

CNN, AP and NBC have called PA for Biden and said he will become the next President. Let’s see how Trump reacts...

The AP and CNN have just called the election for Biden.
Edit. OK, The Guardian didn't mention NBC yet. Apparently the call is because Biden now has a lead of over 30,000 votes in Pennsylvania.

Congratulations President elect Biden.
Busted flush for Don

AP called it first, and now everyone is following their lead, even Fox News.
It seems like the announcement was timed to coincide with the Trump press conference, so none of the news networks covered the press conference. I love that. Payback.

Even Fox news is calling Biden now. Whoo! \:D/

I know we're not out of the woods yet, and the US has a long road ahead, but this is one hell of a relief and hopefully the firsts steps towards things returning to normalcy for a change.
Great news.

It's going to be hard for him to cope with the thought of being the loser.
So it's hard for him to be himself since the childhood :p

Jeeze! Folks, I was just joking about the plea deal. But it's telling that it sounded like a real trump strategy. I am a POE and I just didn't know.
And BTW - Biden gets 273 Electoral College votes. Congratulations on a barely adequate but we will take it anyway, victory.

The count isn't over with yet. We're just now at the point where he's passed 270, and has officially won the presidency.
If he continues to hold his lead in Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, he'll end up with 302 EC votes.
