Donald Trump has invited several Republican lawmakers in Michigan to a meeting at the White House, the New York Times reports. The purpose will be to try to ensure victory in the state.
The meeting will take place on Friday, writes the New York Times, referring to an anonymous source with knowledge of the case.
According to the newspaper, Trump has contacted the leader of the Republican majority in the Michigan state assembly to send the invitation to others. It is not known how many will attend or what the president plans to say.
However, some Trump staff members have theorized that Republican states may, in certain scenarios, ignore the election outcome and send their own Trump-friendly delegates to the Electoral College, which has the final say in the elections. elections.
Draft judgments
“We are withdrawing our lawsuit in Michigan,” Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani said in a statement quoted by Reuters on Thursday.
Giuliani says the decision is the result of having achieved what they wanted, to prevent the outcome in Wayne County from being approved “prematurely.” The county election committee, which is Michigan’s largest, approved the result Wednesday, which was overwhelmingly in favor of Joe Biden.
Trump’s lawyers have backtracked a series of failed attempts to challenge the election results in court since Trump lost the November 3 presidential election.
At the same time, two Wisconsin counties agreed to recount 800,000 votes at the request of the President of the United States. His team is funding the $ 3 million deal.
NBC: Consider Giving Up in December
Trump’s team has also dropped much of the lawsuit against Pennsylvania. In all, the president’s army of attorneys has filed dozens of lawsuits in six states.
According to the Financial Times “Lawsuit Tracker” there are still several pending lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and Wisconsin. In the last two states, the count is underway. Georgia counts everyone, while in Wisconsin it happens in two districts.
Georgia is expected to present the results of its poll at a press conference Thursday night.
The lawsuits are not expected to affect the outcome of the election, where Joe Biden has been declared the winner. The NBC media house reports that the American president is about to realize this and is prepared to admit defeat when the electoral college meets in December.
NBC quotes a “senior Trump administration official” on the information.
-The demands continue, but those close to the president, and the president himself, understand that they are vain, says the source.
– Will continue to sow doubts
At the same time, however, NBC sources claim that this is more of an “end of case” than a “recognition of defeat.”
They say Trump is considering accepting Biden to assume the presidency on January 20, while continuing to assert the results are doubtful and announcing his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election.
A Republican strategist says multiple party senators have privately acknowledged Trump’s defeat and that Biden will be the country’s next president. However, he tells NBC that most of them are not expected to say this publicly until after the Electoral College has met.
This will take place on December 14th.
– Has many witnesses
However, there was no sign from Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, that they will give up even if they drop the federal lawsuit in Michigan.
During a press conference Thursday night, he fired new accusations of “extensive electoral fraud,” especially in the big cities where Biden got the most votes.
He believes that Republican observers were not allowed to do so, that these are “corrupt cities run by Democrats,” that the votes have been counted multiple times, that election officials are trained to cheat, and that the entire process appears coordinated. He thinks he hasn’t seen anything like it in the little places where Trump did well.

– What we have found is not a small voter trap in one state, but the same type of trap that is repeated in many with exactly the same pattern. This is something that any seasoned researcher would have realized must happen according to plan from a central level, he believes.
During the press conference, Giuliani was to present evidence of these accusations. He claims to have thousands of sworn testimony confirming the allegations, but did not submit any of them.
He also claims to have found evidence of cheating in Virginia and New Mexico, but says it is unclear if this is enough to change the outcome. Biden won both states by more than 10 percentage points.
