TRUMP, TARGETING MCCONNELL AND TOP REPUBLICANS, URGES THE THE TO TO ‘GET TOUGHER’ IN ELECTION FIGHT
Jan. Congress meets 6 days to accept the results of the primary election. President Joe Biden won the election, and major voters will vote last week in Electoral College.
But Trump and his campaign have been controversial about the results and have launched several legal challenges, even though almost all of them have failed. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court filed a lawsuit in Texas attempting to cast millions of votes in major swing states.
About four dozen lawsuits with Trump campaign and friends to dismiss election results over the past six weeks have been thrown out by state and federal judges.
Trump’s legal team has said they plan to continue with legal challenges, but experts say there is little chance of success.
On Saturday, Trump linked to a report by Peter Navarro that claims without evidence that the amount of election money was enough to turn the election around.
FIRST TRUMP PUT ON MCCONNELL ONLY TO RECOMMEND BIDEN
Some Trump allies have planned to call a debate in the House when the election results are available. However, those plans were treated as a blow when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell urged his Republican colleagues in the Senate not to compete with the election results on Jan. 6, when a joint session of the Congress formally adopts the account.
McConnell’s move could effectively end any last-minute reappearance hopes for the president. A two-chamber majority of Congress (including the Democratic-controlled House) would be needed to spend the election results.
At the same time, Trump has criticized those in his party who have accepted Biden’s influence.
After McConnell acknowledged Biden as president in a speech Tuesday on the Senate floor, Trump responded by urging him and other Republicans to “be tougher.”
