Axios: “President Trump’s frantic post-election challenges are having the opposite effect of what he intended: He’s documenting his demise through a series of court fights and recounts showing Joe Biden’s victory to be all the more obvious and unassailable. The president’s push to overturn the election results is dispelling the cloud of corruption he alleged by forcing states to create a verified — and legally binding — accounting of his election loss.”
“‘Each loss further cements Biden’s win,’ says election law expert Richard Hasen. ‘History shows that any leader who constructs a major myth, that is later shown to be false, will eventually fall,’ says Harvard science historian and ‘Merchants of Doubt’ author Naomi Oreskes. ‘The risk is that he takes his country down with him.'”
