There has been no evidence tohi provacquisitions so far. The president has met wawh republicankers with the underground state of michigan n which is sti certified its joining me now as y. What does the hope here . That he could get the electors to vote for him . That is one of the possibilities that donald trump sand hisporters are advancing, that they can somehow stopss the certification pro which is supposed to take ways soon and allowed theichigan legislature to step in and declare the state for donald trump. That is conceivably why donald trump is meeting with the Republican Leaders and that is why the white house spokesperson said this is a routine meeting by the president with local legislature of officers. That there was nothing unusual about this. Ois seems t be a very unusual move by the president , particularly given the circumstances in michigan. Anchor he didss this p Conference Today where he was talking about drug prices. He found time to talk about winning the election, but he did not take any questions. Is he trying to present a picture of normalcye still bottles the election outcome . As he still battles the election outcome . G it was interestat Kayleigh Mcenany said this was the vote type rations are correct. That donald trump in this press event mentioned in passing that he won the election. It is the longest of long shots at this point. You are talking about georgia being certified. In order for donald trump to change the elector map at this point, he would flip three states. Michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania. It would have to find llway to removef those estates out of the joe biden column. All three of those states have democratic governors. They are not going to set aside while the republican legislators in that stateng c the vote tally from joe biden to donald trump. It seems unlikely. But this is the only real path that donald trump has left. He has tried court challenges, been time and time again have rejected. Now he is looking at political options. He has republin supporters and all of these estat and state legislatures. He is trying to still win the election that way. The constitution does give state more power in determining how the electoral votes are apportioned. For centuries now, those votes the popular votes within the state.
