He would not go as far as to say donald trump is lying, so i will. In michigan, another state that joe biden won, trump is trying all the tools in the authoritarian playbook to avert the certification process from happening. Senator mitt romney writes, it is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action by a sitting american president. So here is what the outgoing president is doing now and while it may not be surprising, frankly, it is shocking in how brazen and out in the open and straightforward it is. On tuesday night, President Trump called the two republican members of Michigans Wayne county board of canvassers hours after they voted to certify the results of the election in wayne county.
