CNN: “President Donald Trump shows no signs of acknowledging reality, as he continues his hopeless journey to overturn the 2020 election results. Whether he likes it or not, it’s President-elect Joe Biden who will be president starting on January 20. Trump’s unwillingness to concede the 2020 election has now entered historic territory. No major party candidate has gone as long after Election Day without conceding as Trump in modern American history.”

“Trump has now waited even longer than Al Gore did in 2000 to put aside partisan differences and admit defeat. Gore dropped out of the race on this date in 2000. He conceded to George W. Bush and gave a conciliatory speech in front of the nation, after the Supreme Court ordered a halt to the Florida recount in a 5-4 decision. The Court ruled against Gore just as the Safe Harbor deadline was passing for states selecting their electors to the Electoral College. Gore saw reality and didn’t want to lead this country nor his supporters down an unnecessary and potentially dangerous rabbit hole. This year, the Supreme Court refused to even entertain a case brought by Pennsylvania Republicans to block certification of their state’s results ahead of that same Safe Harbor deadline. It’s part of a pattern of Trump and Republicans in support of Trump losing pretty much every court case post-election. Gore’s team actually won some prominent cases. Indeed, it’s worth noting that Gore’s efforts had some chance of succeeding. The 2000 election was a far closer affair than the 2020 election turned out to be.”
