7:52Now PlayingDonald Trump has so far not conceded the US election to Presidentelect Joe Biden and has vowed to challenge the projected result in court. What effect does this have on democracy and reunification in the US? Please subscribe here
Democrat Joe Biden has been declared president-elect, but President Donald Trump is still planning legal challenges to the results in some key states.
His lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Fox News that it would be wrong for Mr Trump to concede because: "There is strong evidence that this was an election that in at least three or four states, and possibly 10, it was stolen."
The Trump campaign is yet to provide this "strong evidence" but says it plans to lodge lawsuits in several key states.
How does Trump’s reluctance to concede impact political discourse and attempts of reunification in the US?
Is the culture war in the US now in danger of spilling into actual war?
Newsnight’s International Editor Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Maricopa County, Arizona, where protestors say they will remain until they believe there has been a free and fair election.
This film was produced by Caitlin Hanrahan and Jack Garland.
