No presidential candidate in modern history has refused to concede, but there’s no law that requires it. What happens if Trump refuses to concede the 2020 election? It won’t make any difference. Joe Biden becomes president on January 20, 2021 if he has won in the electoral college.
Then comes Donald Trump saying wait a minute. He throws a fit and a group of ten Republican attorneys general announced Monday that they are filing an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in a case challenging mail ballots in Pennsylvania, arguing that the state increased the risk of fraud in the election. Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt led the group saying, “Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our republic and it’s one of the reasons why the United States is the envy of the world. We have to ensure that every legal vote cast is counted and that every illegal vote not cast is not counted. To do so would disenfranchise millions of Americans.” If successful they will file briefs overturning the votes in other states.
Donald Trump loves drama. He is an entertainer. Like soap opera the drama offers the questions that those programs always ask
-Will a conservative supreme court overturn the vote in Pennsylvania or any other state?
-Will Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s moment of “we won” be overturned? That really would be the end of the American democracy.
-Are all these actions by state attorney generals meant to placate the scary Donald Trump?
Tune in in the coming days to learn who will be the next president of the United States.
