People keep asking whether Trump and the Republicans attempt to steal the election is legitimate, if it's a coup, if it's a fundraising scheme, if it's posturing, if it's actually all that dangerous.

And I see Biden/Harris on to this - doing this.

Not surprised; but joyful!

"Assumptive close." I like it!

Asked about President Trump's refusal to concede the election,
President-elect Joe Biden said, "I just think it's an embarrassment, quite frankly."
