Donald Trump still refuses to admit defeat.
The highest levels of Republicans are said to be playing a role in saving the Georgian elections in Georgia.
And they wait until the president enters the next time slot.
“Then he walks out the door,” award-winning reporter Maggie Haberman told CNN.
The president cites widespread electoral fraud in several states as a reason for Joe Biden to be declared the winner of the presidential election.
In principle, all the main names of Republicans backed Donald Trump and defended his right to challenge the result and carry out legal proceedings.
This despite the fact that officials in the various states, including local Republicans, have seen no evidence of widespread wrongdoing.
And as long as the president has the main name of the party behind him, it will be easier for him to continue the fight against the election result.
It has been speculated that Republicans in the Senate and House of Representatives fear colliding with President Trump because it could damage their careers in the future, as he is expected to remain a strong force in the party.

I don’t want to irritate the followers.
But according to the New York Times, the main reason is that they do not want to rile Trump’s large and loyal voter base before the second round of the Georgia State Senate elections in early January.
In Georgia, Senate elections in which no one gets more than 50 percent of the vote go to a second round. And since none of the state’s candidates got their own majority, there are now two open Senate seats.
That choice is crucial to the amount of democratic politics Joe Biden goes through as president. Right now, Republicans are leading 50-48. If the Democrats take home the last two seats, it will be the same, and then the party will get a deciding vote through Vice President Kamala Harris.
And one of the Republican senators is now openly saying why none of them come out to ask Donald Trump to admit defeat.
– We need your voters. Right now he is trying to go through the last phase of the elections and determine the outcome there. But when all is said and done, no matter how it ends, we want your help in Georgia, “John Thune, a senator from North Dakota, told reporters Wednesday according to the New York Times.

I have no strategy
The Washington Post also writes, referring to a Republican official in Congress, that politicians in the Senate and House of Representatives dare not provoke the ire of the president by the elections in Georgia. The silence consists largely of political considerations.
And there are many signs that Republicans hope that Donald Trump will soon decide to surrender. According to the Washington Post, both staff and advisers are telling the president that there is no imminent strategy to help him win the election.
– Everyone is too confident now, says a senior White House official laughing at the Washington Post, when asked what Trump’s final plan is.
And Maggie Haberman, an award-winning New York Times reporter who has followed Donald Trump for many years, says in an interview with CNN that she certainly believes this will help him retain power on the basis of the Republican Party, because money can be made. with that.
– But I don’t think it’s a strategy. I think it’s a reaction. It moves in short time intervals. See what happens before moving on to the next time slot, Haberman says.
– You probably think this benefits you now, until you get to a point where it no longer benefits you.
Maggie Haberman believes the indictments of Donald Trump and his campaign staff will soon end with him voluntarily surrendering power, as more Republicans tire of the drama and want to focus on Georgia.
– It’s about survival, minute by minute. Take things as far as you can. He will say the election was unfair until he walks out the door. “I think it will go out the door,” he told CNN.

In the Georgia elections, Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler face Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. But the election is viewed nationally as a referendum on Joe Biden’s victory, and what direction the country should take politically, writes the New York Times.
On both sides, the important and crucial choice is important for both the tactic and the game. Joe Biden’s staff is working on two different scenarios for the January 20 installation. If the Democrats win both seats, he can begin his term with a much broader agenda than if the Republicans remain in the majority.
Democratic President Nancy Pelosi has asked party members to be cautious and careful about what they say before the election, writes the New York Times.
On the Republican side, senators, led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, continue to try to say as little as possible about Donald Trump’s allegations about the election. But behind closed doors, it sounds different. At least according to his fellow Democrats.
Senator Chris Coons told CNN that fellow Republicans have privately asked him to congratulate Joe Biden.
Senator Bernie Sanders also told CNN that he had witnessed the same thing:
– Absolutely. The average Republican senator is not an idiot.

It can be a thriller
The second round in Georgia has every chance of turning into a true thriller. The state is already embroiled in the chaos surrounding the presidential elections. It has already been decided that there will be a recalculation of the votes because that was the case even among the candidates. With almost all votes counted, Joe Biden leads Donald Trump with just over 14,000 votes.
Georgia has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1992. But due to the diverse population with larger minority groups and urban liberals, Georgia has slowly moved toward the party. And now the Democrats are doing their best to get voters and taxpayers on the move.
But it is still seen as a long shot that the party could steal the seats.
Until January 5, the parties will bombard Georgia’s television channels with advertisements and many of their top representatives will go there for campaign rallies. Vice President Mike Pence is expected to hold a fundraising event there next week.
However, Democrats have not waived the possibility of a Senate majority beforehand.
– As far as the Senate is concerned, it’s not over at all. Georgia is level, says Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
On the Republican side, it has been a balancing act. While they support President Trump’s accusations, or at least do not oppose them, many worry that the party’s voters will abstain if they lose faith that the elections are fair and legal.

Vocabulary in Republicans
There has also been a big dispute between the Republican senators in Georgia who are now going to the second round on the one hand and the Republican Secretary of State for the state, Brad Raffensperger, on the other. Perdue and Loeffler have asked Raffensperger to resign because he failed to stop the voter fraud.
He has dismissed the accusations as ridiculous and says he hasn’t seen any signs of cheating.
– I understand that half the population will be happy, half sad. But I want everyone to understand that the process was fair and that the votes were counted correctly, Brad Raffensperger tells Fox 5 Atlanta.
On the anger of the party colleagues and his similar tone to the president, he says:
– I was disappointed. I’ve never liked seeing us divided. As Secretary of State, my job is to make sure we have honest and fair elections, but as a Republican and Conservative, I want our side to win. But you have to win fairly and honestly.
