President Donald Trump was infuriated with members of the Republican Party for refusing to overturn the presidential election result in a Christmas Eve tweet.
“At a meeting in Florida today, everyone was wondering why Republicans are not up in arms and fighting over the fact that Democrats stole the rigged presidential election.” wrote Thursday afternoon. Especially in the Senate, they said, where you helped 8 senators win their races. How quickly they forget!
The president had no meetings on his Christmas Eve schedule, but left his Mar-a-Lago resort to play a round of golf at his nearby Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
President Donald Trump (left) claimed he held a ‘meeting in Florida’ on Thursday in which he was asked why Republicans, including US Republican senators, weren’t ‘fighting over the fact that Democrats stole the election presidential rigged ‘
Trump’s tweet came after he returned to his Mar-a-Lago resort after leaving several hours earlier on Christmas Eve to play a round of golf at his nearby Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. He had nothing on his public Christmas Eve schedule
Trump’s caravan is photographed entering his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The president spent Christmas Eve furiously tweeting about the election, which he lost to President-elect Joe Biden last month.
Trump also jumped on this tweet after criticizing Republican senators for not backing his plan to nullify the outcome of the presidential election.
The White House did not release the names of his golf partners.
‘VOTER FRAUD IS NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY, IT IS A FACT !!!’ Trump tweeted shortly after directing his ire at US Republican senators.
Before he went golfing, Trump tweeted new videos that falsely claimed widespread election fraud.
A campaign spokesperson told DailyMail.com that the campaign will spend more than $ 5 million for those ads to air overnight on January 5, the day before Congress meets to finalize the Electoral College recount. .
The ads are running nationally on Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Newsmax, and One America News Network, with more specific questions directed at voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Radio commercials with a similar message are also part of ad buying.
In an ad titled ‘Stop the Steal’, which Trump featured on his Twitter account early Thursday, the ad says, ‘The United States rewarded President Trump with more than 74 million votes.’
President-elect Joe Biden won more than 81 million votes and beat Trump in the Electoral College 306-232.
Millions more than Obama and both Clintons. More votes than any president. More votes from African American, Latino and Jewish Americans than any Republican in decades, ”he continued.
A new ad that Trump debuted on his Twitter account Thursday morning, boasted of the 74 million votes it received and later made false claims about widespread voter fraud. President-elect Joe Biden won 81 million votes
A map in the ad shows a series of states that turned blue for Biden – Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Arizona – marked in light red, as if Trump had won them in a ‘landslide victory’.
Vice President Mike Pence will preside over the January 6 congressional meeting where lawmakers have the opportunity to oppose Electoral College vote counts, but votes in Congress do not exist for those counts to be overturned.
President Trump won Ohio, Florida and 95 percent of the leading counties. But something happened, ” he said.
The ad later reads out loud that they “rushed to mail ballots” and called it a “recipe for fraud.”
He falsely claims that ‘Biden’s ballots [were] he added in the middle of the night.
It also shows footage of Biden twisting a talking point about his campaign efforts to combat voter suppression.
Biden said he had the ‘most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in … history’.
The ad also includes a map in which several states that were turned blue for Biden (Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, and Michigan) are marked in red.
“It’s an outrage,” read the Trump campaign ad. “The American people deserve to know the truth.”
In announcements specifically targeted at states, supporters are asked to call in figures like Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, who has already certified the state’s results.
A Wisconsin radio ad includes a number that marks the Wisconsin Republican Party.
None of these entities has the power to revoke the Electoral College, which already voted in favor of Biden on December 14, granting him the expected 306 votes.
Trump, however, is looking at Vice President Mike Pence, who will have to preside over the January 6 session of Congress in which the Electoral College counts are formalized.
Trump has complained that Pence has not done enough to defend him, according to reports from The New York Times and Axios.
Pence was facing additional pressure Wednesday after right-wing fringe websites misled Trump supporters into saying the vice president could play the so-called ‘Pence Card’, claiming that the US code says that the Vice President must accept or reject the election result on the third day. Wednesday December.
That date, this year, is December 23, which passed without such action from Pence because the vice president does not have that power.
However, Pence is supposed to preside over the Jan.6 meeting in the House of Representatives when the Electoral College count is formalized.
At this meeting, if a senator joins a member of the House, they can delay the process by contesting the count in certain states.
The House and Senate then meet in their respective chambers and debate the objection, with a simple majority required to override the complaint.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has asked Republican senators not to participate in this effort, which already has the backing of several members of the GOP House of Representatives, because it will put his group in a difficult situation.
There will not be enough votes in the Senate to rule out any of the state results, so McConnell would prefer that Republican senators not have to choose a side between Trump and the legitimate election result.
At the end of the proceedings, Pence will have to announce Biden as the winner.
This, according to Axios, has irritated Trump, as the president views Pence fulfilling his constitutional duty as the ‘ultimate treason,’ as the new site put it.
Axios also reported that Trump was rocked by a Project Lincoln ad that reads, “When Mike Pence is running away from you, you know it’s over.”
‘The end is near Donald. Even Mike Pence knows it. He is moving away from his derailed train. From his desperate lies and clown lawyers, ‘the ad reads.
On Tuesday, however, Pence told a crowd of young conservatives at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit that the fight was ongoing.
‘As our electoral contest continues, I will make you a promise: we will continue to fight until every legal vote is counted. We will keep fighting until all illegal votes are removed, ”Pence said.
But Pence then brought up Georgia, where Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue are on the ballot in the January 5 runoff, suggesting that the comments could be about that race and not about the presidential race.
Pence could also abandon his responsibility and not preside over the January 6 congressional meeting.
The last person to do so was Vice President Hubert Humphrey in 1969.
He was the Democratic nominee and had been defeated by Republican Richard Nixon.
Humphrey was abroad at the time to attend the funeral of Trygve Lie, the first secretary-general of the United Nations.
