There is no requirement to concede; it’s nothing more than a tradition. Trump conceding or not conceding won’t change who wins the election.

But conceding shows that the loss is accepted. Never said it would change the outcome of the election. It will have an impact on the possibility of violence.

  It’s just a tradition. People put to much weight in it.
  
  Trump last time and conceded a few days later. He just didn’t use those exact words.
  
  Sounds like you are into traditions. That’s very conservative of you

    He conceded on January 7th. Not exactly timely there.
