Trump comes close to almost acknowledging Biden's win

President Donald Trump held a last-minute news conference from the White House Rose Garden Friday afternoon, and for the first time came close to almost acknowledging President-elect Joe Biden will take office in January.

Biden was declared president-elect last week on Saturday.
