Enthere has been no ev to prove his acquisitions so far. E president has met with republican lawmakers with the underground state of michigan certified ill not Election Results. Joining me now as anthony. What does the hope here . Leat he could get theors to vote for him . That is one of the possibilities that donald trump and his supporters are advancing, that they can somehow stop the certification process which is supposed to takways soon and allowed theichigan slleure to step in and declare the state for donald trump. That is conceivably why donald trump is meeting wit lthe republicders andt t whyer the white house spoken said this is a routine meeting by the psident with local legislature of officers. That there was nothing unusual about this. Move by the president ,unusual particularly given the circumstances in michigan. Anchor he did this press 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 normalcy as he still bottles the election outcome . As he still battles the election outcome . It was interesting that Kayleigh Mcenany said this was all routine procedure and that 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. Er o for donald trump to change the electoral map at this point, he would flip three states. Michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania. It would have a finy to remove all of those estates out of the joe biden column. All three of those states have they are not going to set aside while the republican legislators in tha state change the vote tally from joe biden trump. Nald it seems unlikely. But this is the only real path that donald trump has left. He has tried court challenges, and the cou challenges have been time and time again rejected. Ticale is looking at po option he has republin supporters and legislatures. Tat and state he is trying to still win the election that way.
