Election called for Biden while Trump golfs; Giuliani at Four Seasons Total Landscaping
Major networks projected Joe Biden the winner around 11:30 AM ET. Trump was at his golf course in Sterling, Virginia, and refused to concede, tweeting "I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!" Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani held a press conference to allege fraud at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia—a small business between a crematorium and an adult bookstore—apparently booked by mistake instead of the Four Seasons Hotel.

AI commentaryThe Four Seasons Total Landscaping Incident While networks called the race for Biden, Trump was golfing and Giuliani was holding a press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping--a lawn care company between a crematorium and an adult bookstore. The booking error became widely noted in media coverage as symbolic of campaign disorganization. Refusal to Concede Despite the call, Trump did not concede. This event preceded two months of legal challenges and efforts to contest the election results through pressure campaigns, lawsuits, and ultimately the January 6th Capitol events. The Giuliani Press Conference Giuliani's landscaping press conference included allegations of election fraud that would be repeated in subsequent legal challenges. The lawyer would later appear at additional press conferences, including one at the RNC where hair dye was visible on his face during the proceedings.
