Former White House advisor John Bolton has had it with President Donald Trump's refusal to concede to President-elect Joe Biden. Business Insider reports Bolton asked GOP leaders to go against Trump's assertion that the winner of the 2020 election has not yet been decided. Sunday, Bolton said in an ABC interview that Republican leaders should tell voters 'Trump has lost the election and that his claims of election fraud are baseless.' Substantial evidence indicates that voter fraud has not occurred in this election, including a report from a group of international election observers. Trump's team of lawyers has litigated election results in all key battleground states. However, they have been unsuccessful in virtually every attempt. Right now, the Trump campaign is doing the legal equivalent of pitching pennies. Where are their silver dollars? Where is the evidence?

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says he'll look at the results of the November 8th election "at the time" and does not say whether he would concede if he loses the election. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
The Trump campaign's efforts to overturn the election results are widely seen by Wall Street as a desperate sideshow destined to fail. But CNN reports JPMorgan is telling clients, 'Not so fast.' After all, this is 2020. According to CNN, JPMorgan Asset Management's Michael Cembalest says there's still a chance that this process could descend into chaos. The chairman of market and investment strategy warned in a report Wednesday of the "remote risk of an American horror story" and "constitutional mayhem." The Market and Investment Strategy chairman pointed to President Donald Trump's Tuesday night firing of the top US election security official. He also noted Attorney General William Barr's decision to authorize prosecutors to probe alleged voter fraud. Bottom line: a LOT of very unorthodox things have to happen for Trump to be reelected. Even so, I'm not ruling anything out. Michael Cembalest Chairmain, Market and Investment Strategy, JPMorgan Asset Management
US President-elect Joe Biden denounces the 'incredible irresponsibility' of President Donald Trump on his refusal to concede. "I think they're witnessing incredible irresponsibility. Incredibly damaging messages sent to the rest of the world about how democracy functions," he says during a press conference in Wilmington, Delaware. SOUNDBITE
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has a ready response in case President Donald Trump spreads misinformation about the election. According to Business Insider, Biden will declare victory if news organizations announce him as the winner of the presidential election on Tuesday night. Campaign advisers say Biden wants to avoid taking a defensive posture if Trump moves forward with lawsuits. We're not really concerned about what Donald Trump says. We're going to use our data, our understanding of where this is headed, and make sure that the vice president is addressing the American people. Jen O'Malley Dillon Biden campaign manager Trump has privately vowed to declare himself the winner Tuesday night if it looks like he's leading the race. But on Tuesday morning, the president told 'Fox & Friends' that he'd declare himself the winner 'if' and 'when' 'there is victory.'
Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera is a longtime friend of President Donald Trump. But despite Rivera's affection, CNN reports he has a message for the president. It's over. Geraldo Rivera Interview, 'The Story With Martha McCallum,' Fox News Rivera said Trump's attempts to overturn the election have been litigated for six weeks, noting that the Supreme Court has rejected Trump's efforts twice. In a call-to-action video on his Twitter account, Rivera called on Trump to concede, saying the electoral college 'had spoken.'
President Donald Trump has still refused to concede to President-elect Joe Biden. Trump is reportedly planning a rally on Biden's inauguration day. Biden has said that Trump should go to his inauguration to demonstrate a peaceful transfer of power. He then added that Trump's presence was "of no personal consequence to me." They are far from the first American presidents and presidents-to-be not to see eye to eye. However, many Americans are curious to see how inauguration day will look with the drama involved.
Cracks are growing in the GOP defense of Trump's long-shot effort to overturn the 2020 election outcome. Many top Republicans are contending that Joe Biden should immediately get national security briefings. Some are calling for the official transition process to begin, reports CNN. Others are acknowledging that Trump stands little chance at reversing results clearly showing he lost. Even still, Trump has no plans to concede that have been made public.
