- Refusing to concede, Trump proceeds with his legal challenges, releasing a statement saying that "this election is far from over.

- A Pennsylvania state court rules in favor of Trump, stating that Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar "lacked statutory authority" to extend a deadline for mail-in voters who still needed to submit proof of identification. Boockvar had moved the deadline from November 9 to November 12. Thus the court orders the state to toss out those such ballots that were cured during the extended deadline period. The Philadelphia Inquirer estimates that the number of ballots that will be tossed out is small and not significantly cut into Biden's lead.[892][893]
- November 13:

- The Third Circuit Court in Wayne County, Michigan rejects a petition by two Republican poll challengers seeking to stop the county's vote certification, alleging fraud by poll workers.

- The Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia rejects five Trump petitions challenging five separate batches of votes in which voters failed to either print their names under their signature or print their address on the outer envelope of their mail-in ballot. The court ruled that Philadelphia County's Board of Elections does not make it absolutely mandatory because the information is already pre-printed on those envelopes.[900]
- November 14:
- Trump criticizes the Georgia ballot recount as a "waste of time", claiming that his campaign's observers are not being let into the counting rooms.[901]

- November 15: In a series of tweets, Trump states that Biden "won because the Election was Rigged", referencing an unproven conspiracy theory held by right wing groups alleging that voter tabulation machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems had been compromised, resulting in millions of votes for Trump being deleted or switched to Biden. Trump further tweets that Biden "only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. I concede NOTHING! We have a long way to go."[906][907]
- November 16:
- As the Georgia recount continues, more than 2,600 votes are reportedly uncovered in Floyd County because of a ballot scanning machine's memory card that did not properly get uploaded on Election Day.

But then they did not come out and vote in person."[913]
- The Trump campaign files a new lawsuit in the Nevada First Judicial District Court alleging that "fraud and abuse renders the purported results of the Nevada election illegitimate" and thus either Trump "be declared the winner of the Election in Nevada” or that the results are annulled and no Nevada winner is certified.[914][915]
- November 17–18:
- All 72 Wisconsin counties complete their canvassing of the election results by the state's November 17 deadline.[916] The Trump campaign then on the following day pays the $3 million fee to apply for recounts in just Dane and Milwaukee counties, rather than pay the full $8 million fee for a recount of the entire state.[917]
- The four-member board of canvassers of Wayne County, Michigan vote unanimously to certify its election results after initially being deadlocked along party lines.[918] The two Republican members then ask to rescind their votes, signing affidavits on the day after stating that they voted for the certification only because the two Democratic members promised a full audit of the county's votes.[919]
- November 18: The Trump campaign files its third version of its federal lawsuit over the Pennsylvania results, now claiming that 1.5 million mail-in or absentee votes in seven counties should be thrown out, and thus either he should be named the winner in Pennsylvania or the Pennsylvania Legislature should be given the authority to appoint presidential electors pledged to Trump.[920]
- November 19:
- Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and other members of Trump's legal team hold a press conference levying their various claims of voter fraud but refuse to reveal specific evidence until they are actually in court, leading the press to conclude that they are just rehashing their previously debunked conspiracy theories.[921][922]

Grimberg, a Trump-appointee, dismisses the Trump campaign's lawsuit seeking to delay the certification of Georgia's election results, ruling, "It is well established that garden-variety election disputes do not rise to the level of a constitutional deprivation. The fact that [Trump] didn't win doesn't rise to the level of harm".[924]
- November 19–20: The Georgia hand recount ends with Biden still leading Trump by 12,284 votes, only slightly less than the roughly 14,000-vote lead in the initial count,[925] and despite the additional ballots found in Floyd County and other areas.[926] Raffensperger officially certifies these results on the following day, staying that "I believe that the numbers that we have presented today are correct. The numbers reflect the will of the people".[927]

- As the recounts continue in Dane County, Wisconsin, election officials there reject the Trump campaign's request to toss out over 69,000 absentee ballots where, among other issues, an election clerk filled in missing address information on the outer envelope, the voter declared themselves to be "indefinitely confined", or where there was not a written application on file.[934]
- November 21:
- McDaniel joins Michigan Republican Party Chair Laura Cox in asking the Michigan Board of Canvassers to delay certification of the state's election results so that a "full, transparent audit" is conducted. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson had previously stated before Cox and McDaniel's request that "election officials do not have legal access to the documents needed to complete audits until the certification."[935]

Brann dismisses the Trump's campaign lawsuit seeking to block the certification of the Pennsylvania results, ruling that the president's legal team merely presented "strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations" that were "unsupported by evidence".[936]

- After the two-week standoff, including accusations by Democratic leaders claiming that it was "undermining national security",[950] Trump, Murphy, and the GSA reverse course and formally allow Biden's transition team to allow access to the required federal resources. Trump and Murphy however give conflicting reasons on who made the decision first, with Trump tweeting that he is "recommending" the GSA start the process, while Murphy writes in her formal letter to Biden that she "independently" made the decision without being "directly or indirectly pressured by any Executive Branch official — including those who work at the White House or GSA".[951] Given the green light, Biden begins receiving the president's daily classified intelligence brief on the following day, among others.[952] Trump still insists that he is not conceding yet and is continuing his legal challenges.[953]
- The Trump campaign officially files its amended appeal to the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals seeking to block the certification of the Pennsylvania results.

- November 25–26: Powell files lawsuits in US District Court late on November 25 alleging massive election fraud in Georgia and Michigan.

- November 26: During a Thanksgiving Day press conference, his first such presser since the election, Trump admits that he would leave the White House if Biden is officially declared the winner of Electoral College, but adds, "If they do, they made a mistake ...

- November 27:
- The Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejects the Trump campaign's challenge to the Pennsylvania election results, ruling that the "campaign's claims have no merit ...
