That's what I'm saying. The GOP are going to huff and puff and try to convince the MAGA base that they fought for Trump. The reality is that Joe's win will be certified BEFORE the runoff. There's going to be a period of time between Joe winning "officially" and the runoff where MAGAs will have to cope with Trump's loss.

The GOP has to convince those folks to turnout in GA even after Trump has "officially" lost.
