Trump doesn't mention Biden in farewell address

US President Donald Trump does not mention his successor, Democrat Joe Biden, by name in his farewell address. Trump refers to the "next" and "new" administration in the nearly 20-minute speech taped in the White House Blue Room and released on Tuesday, on the eve of Biden's inauguration.

Trump has refused to publicly concede to Biden. He spent the weeks after the election blaming his loss on widespread voter fraud that didn't exist. Trump's efforts to overturn the will of the voters peaked on Jan. 6 when a violent mob of his supporters overran the Capitol as Congress met to certify Biden's victory. Trump acknowledged in his farewell address that he will hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday when Trump's term ends and Biden's begins.
