CNN: “President Donald Trump expanded his extraordinary efforts to overturn the election Saturday, attempting to pressure Georgia’s governor to force a special session of the legislature to change the result, while using an evening rally for two GOP Senate candidates to rant about his own grievances and thrash Republican leaders who have not done his bidding.It was more evidence that the President will spend the remaining days of his presidency ignoring the deadly course of the pandemic, spreading falsehoods that amount to an attack on democracy and nursing his own grudges even if that works against the interests of his own party.”

“The purpose of Trump’s visit to Valdosta was to get voters mobilized and primed to support Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in January’s Senate runoffs that will determine control of the US Senate. Trump’s relentless claims of voter fraud in Georgia have alarmed many GOP leaders who fear they may lead many Republican voters to stay home. But in his seemingly endless narcissism, Trump found it difficult to keep the focus on Loeffler and Perdue, repeatedly turning back to his own complaints and made only passing references to the alarming rise in Covid-19 cases nationally at a rally where almost no one wore masks and there was no social distancing. He made up fantastical stories about votes in suitcases, re-litigated his election tallies in battleground states and suggested that he will be successful in reversing the November results where President-elect Joe Biden beat him with 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232. ‘We will still win it,’ he said, even though there is no means for him to do so.”
