DONALD Trump’s attempt to pressure officials in the US State of Georgia to overturn the result in the election he lost ("Trump put pressure on Georgia election official to ‘find’ him votes", The Herald, January 5) is disgraceful, but reveals what a shockingly bad President he’s been. As though we needed any more evidence.
It would be poetic justice if disgruntled Republicans boycotted today’s Senate election in Georgia and the two Democrat candidates sneaked home, ideally by 11,779 votes. That would give a 50:50 split in the Senate, the upper house in US Congress, with the casting vote in the hands of Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris.
