For the most part, President Trump continues to be singularly obsessed with overturning the president ialelection results, and has been slamming republicans, in various states, for not bowing to his fundamentally undemocratic wishes, especially, in georgia. The Atlanta Journal constitution reports that, just today, President Trump called georgia governor, brian kemp, and pressed kemp to call a special session of the Georgia Legislature to, somehow, overturn the november election results. Kemp has, once again, declined trumps request. Well, that rejection, likely, will not sit well with trump, who has been heavily targeting kemp and republican secretary of state, brad raffensperger.

And a washington insider no less a person than terry mccollough, who is a party functionary. And quite famously a very close friend of bill, clinton that is.
