The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a request to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's victory in Pennsylvania. According to Business Insider, the request was put forth by a group of Republican state legislators, led by US Rep. Mike Kelly. They asked the court for an emergency order nullifying Biden's win, claiming the state legislature did not have the power to expand mail-in voting. It's yet another defeat among dozens of the Trump campaign's ongoing attempts to keep Trump in office for a second term. Battleground states Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, and Wisconsin have all certified their results as of last week. Tuesday is also the "safe harbor" deadline by which all 50 states have to certify their results and resolve any legal disputes surrounding the results.
Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News, has confided to those close to him that he believes President Donald Trump is bound to lose against Joe Biden. Business Insider reports that Fox News owner believes the president has utterly mismanaged the coronavirus crisis. Nevertheless, Murdoch's publications continue to consistently back Trump. The tabloid The New York Post last week published an attack piece on Joe Biden. At the start of Trump's White House bid, Murdoch publicly called him 'an embarrassment.' But as Trump's star rose, the network did an abrupt 180 and began to fawn, to the point that Fox TV pundit Sean Hannity became Trump's informal adviser. But privately, the media mogul is beginning to tire of Trump, who has phoned to complain about negative coverage of his administration on Fox News.
