Philadelphia Mayor Calls on Trump to 'Put His Big Boy Pants On' and Concede Race

In true Philly fashion, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney did not mince words when reporters asked him about President Donald Trump’s refusal to accept a loss to Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

“I think what the president needs to do is, frankly, put his big boy pants on,” Kenney, a Democrat, said at a Friday news conference after he announced that vote counting continued in the city but that he expected Biden to come out on top.

“He needs to acknowledge the fact that he lost, and he needs to congratulate the winner, just as Jimmy Carter did, just as George H.W. Bush did and, frankly, just as Al Gore did and stop this and let us move forward as a country,” he added.

Kenney said he doubted that Trump would listen to him. But he took a jab at Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who threatened legal action in Philadelphia on Wednesday and alleged voter fraud within the city.

That shouldn't even matter. Call it officially already.

Psychologically, this country needs it. People NEED something to celebrate. We deserve a whole weekend of dancing in the streets and going absolutely berserk with joy that this fucker will soon be GONE. Then we can focus on starting on the hard work of rebuilding what's been destroyed and mourning the dead and putting real strategies in place to save lives NOW.

But all that very necessary processing is on hold. Why? I get why the networks want to be cautious but COME ON. It is mathematically impossible for Dump to make up the deficit in PA alone, and that state is enough to confirm what we all already know. Joe Biden is the President-Elect. Let's have that moment that we all need, please.

Not sure Big Boy would want him though. He has a known predilection for other hamburders
