U.S. President Donald Trump is aware his fight to overturn the election is winding down, according to people familiar with the matter, but he isn¡¯t ready to end the effort as he fundraises off the furor, directing much of the proceeds to his political action committee.

Still, Trump appears to be staking out a path that will end with him departing the White House without ever formally conceding to Democrat Joe Biden. He¡¯s continuing to insist that the result was ¡°rigged¡± as he plots his next steps.

The president has salted a string of hints into recent remarks that he¡¯s coming to grips with the reality Biden will be the next president.
