President Donald Trump is not conceding but world leaders have begun congratulating Joe Biden. 

Trump remains defiant as the administration awaits the outcome of recounts and court action:

A statement signed by the president said Biden “has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.”

Neither candidate has been certified as the winner in any state, as all 50 continue to wrap up their vote counts.

The statement singled out Pennsylvania, whose 20 electoral votes put Biden over 270 Electoral College votes today, according to major news outlets making the calls.

“Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media,” the statement said. “Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated.”

World leaders congratulate Biden: 

China is laughing: 

AOC has started making a list: 

Meanwhile, CNN is still crying:
