President Donald Trump is expected to give the White House to President-elect Joe Biden in 51 days.
The president convened an ongoing hearing at a Phoenix hotel and the election was “the biggest scam ever committed in our country. “
He claimed to have won Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, despite the qualifying results. And although Trump said Monday that the election was “rigged,” secretaries of state across the country, as well as former CISA director Chris Krebs, praised the security and good fortune of this year’s election.
During the appeal, Trump also said his team would take a new lawsuit in Wisconsin and Georgia.
“Let’s go all the way,” Trump said.

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said in a Senate confrontation Monday that Biden’s closet appointments deserve to get hearings in January “immediately” after the election moment circular in Georgia, and argued that Republicans are “resisting” their opposition to their candidates.
“In fact, I expect to see crocodile tears falling down the aisle above President-elect Biden’s cabinet nominees, but it will be very difficult to take crocodile tears seriously,” Schumer said. “Our Republican colleagues are officially some of the least important qualified applicants, top unethical and maximum heinous in recent history. “
Schumer, in particular, defended Biden’s nominee to lead the Office of Budget and Management, Neera Tanden, as “qualified without regret” after some Senate Republicans said it would be a difficult confirmation battle.
“Neera Tanden, who has an endless stream of derogatory comments about the Republican senators he will want votes from, has no chance of being confirmed,” Drew Brandewie, spokesman for Texas GOP Senator John Cornyn, tweeted Sunday.
Schumer also said the Senate’s “first and foreman” precedence is the approval of a bipartisan relief bill opposed to COVID-19.
