vaccines have a major positive impact. end of april early may. may, june. somewhere around that time. the ordinary citizen should be able to get it. if we can hang in there, do the public health measures that we're talking about. we're going to get this under control. i promise you. >> tonight dr. fauci gets the last word. the "the reidout" starts now. joe biden is the president-elect of the united states and will continue to be whild trump continues to channel rage over losing the election in legal challenges. and continuing the drift come to define the entire presidency. diluting the supporters and handing over the hard earned cash to support his latest scam. bombarding them with e-mails

seeking contributions to his election defense fund. and screaming stop the steal. donald trump is a con man. remember he borrowed tens of millions and never paid back. created a fake university. and paid just $750 in income tax. but got like $100,000 worth of free government healthcare when he got covid. the donations his campaign is soliciting. daily. according to analysis of the fine print, donors have to cough up $8,000 before any of the money goes to a recount account. noting a large portion goes to save america. a trump leadership pack. which gets 60% of the money. save america by doing what? more grifting? according to plit koe. trump could place his family members in and former administration officials on payroll. and continue to host lavish events at his properties without

tripping up campaign finance law. meanwhile a group of 150 former national security officials signed a letter warning that the government delay in recognizing biden's victory poedss a serious threat to national security. at least some of trumps republican enablers are coming out of hiding to say biden should be given the tools of a president. oklahoma republican said he would step in in if biden isn't given access to the daily intelligence briefing by tomorrow. >> there's nothing wrong with vice president biden getting the briefings to ab able to prepare hils himself. if that's not occurring friday i will step in and say this needs to occur. >> as for trumps purge at the pentagon. firing defense secretary. and replacing top leadership with loyalist. republicans are muzzling anger. they're afraid it will hurt their chances in georgia senate

run offs. another warning sign of a deeper purge in the national security realm. the head of the homeland security arm is telling soeshlts he expects to be fired. for debunking fraud claims. and obstructing the transition is embarrassing. with holding messages of congratulations to biden from world leaders. the team has been able to work through the tantrum taking calls from leaders of australia, japan and south korea. today pope francis offered congratulations in a phone call to biden. who will be just the nations second catholic president. joining me now congressman adam schiff of california. chairman of the house intelligence committee. representative, it is difficult to sus out what to believe about why republicans are enabling this. the idea that trump is sad and need to let him work through grief. it doesn't track. they are telling every reporter

they can't stand him. i have heard everything from they're in there shredding documents. they don't want to let the biden team in. two republicans are unconcerned about national security. because it's all about georgia. for you what do you think it is? >> i think you're right. it's about two things. georgia. and stst about 2024. it's about mitch mcconnell not wanting to upset donald trump when the senate majority may hang in the balance of georgia. if senators like mcconnell and others do the responsible thing, and say mr. president you lost, that's how the system works. move on. have a smooth transition. we stand for the peaceful transfer of power. he takes his ball and goes home from georgia. nothing matters more to

mcconnell than naning position as majority leaders. for the others they want to run for president. and don't want to alienate him. he may a competitor in four years. and for members in between those two, the presidential aspiring. they don't want to be on the losing side of an angry tweet from the president. or get sean hannity or tucker karlson. the conviction goes out the window. >> it feels like coward is to me. a shorter transition period could be dangerous to the country. because enemies can see what the allies can see. we are everything is the ball is thrown up in the air. and trump is disappeared from the national scene on covid and everything else. i want to play you what general milly said. in the absence of something

happening people fear what trump might do that's really dangerous. like try to seize power and use the military. this is what the general said yesterday. seems like he was calling trump out. >> we are unique. among armies. we are unique among military. we do not take an oath to a king or queen. a tyrant or dictator. we do not take oath to an individual. >> so, for yourself as somebody who is the gang of eight. you get intelligence briefings. do you have any concern whatsoever that donald trump will try to go to extraordinary means including trying to use his role as commander in chief to stay in power? is that something people should let go and disabuse themselves of the fear. >> in my view he's gone to extreme position in denying the

election. making a massive fraudulent claim about people's votes. will he go and seek to essentially a military coup? no. he may want to. the military is not going to go along with that. i have confidence they will reject that. i think general milly comments were very carefully written to send a message. that was not an accident. that he chose the words he used. and any number of current and former military people say the same thing. i feel confidence about that. look, the other risks are very real. other nation are not sitting still. adversaries look at this period of disarray. we are all ready suffering a foreign policy defeat right now. because one of the pillars of american foreign policy for decades has been the propagation of democracy.

support for democratic institutions. we preach to other countries when you lose an election, you allow a peaceful transition of power. autocrats claim massive fraud. we don't do that in the united states. you shouldn't do that. that pillar of democracy promotion has been destroyed. how do we make the arguments with a straight face now given what president is doing. >> to just put a coat on it. president obama talking about what we're seeing in the circus atmosphere. >> the president doesn't like to lose. and never admits loss. i'm more troubled by the fact that other republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this. are humoring him in this fashion. it is one more step in delegitimizing -- not just the incoming biden administration.

but democracy. >> that explains him. trump. i need to go back to republicans. both house and senate republicans have made it clear, when sort of the normal order resumes and congress is back in session and at work, they're not interested in doing any work that involves legislation or helping people during this awful pandemic. that is taken covid-19 has taken down i don't know how many administration officials. you can go on and on. all the officials inside the trump world have it. trump had it. what they want to focus on is investigating. they want to go after hunter biden still. they want to go after the investigation that led to impeachment. a time in which for a will the of people you became the modern day making an argument against trump. they want go after the mueller probe again. is that what we have to sit through for four year?

republicans doing investigations and refusing to legislate? >> we may. certainly i think you're right about the fact that this wouldn't be going on right now this obstruction of the transition wouldn't be going on if republicans weren't allowing it to go on. that's been the story of the last four years. you wouldn't have the break down of the independence of the justice department under barr if republicans stood up and defended that institution. you wouldn't have the abuse of the pardon power and stone walling of subpoena. the hatch act. for republicans going along with it and still. it is just tearing down our democracy. i do expect in the new congress that yes, they'll continue to try to go after joe biden. delegitimize joe biden. they won't be interested in

getting things done. they will feel that if we govern well, it impedes their majority in the house. we'll over come that. the american people are counting on us. they need help right away. they can't wait until january. there are millions of businesses that maybe destroyed between now and january. if they don't get help. i hope that if the republicans adopt that obstructionism, they pay a heavy price for it at the poll. i don't want to see is sacrifice the american people during this pandemic. for the political interest republicans hope to gain by doing nothing. >> you did mention william barr. who is become quite a prominent villain in the long endless saga. president has been president for 40 years. would you be open to replacing him? your name has come up in conversations with folks who are politically inclined about who

they want to see in a biden administration. would you be interested in becoming attorney general of the united states? >> this will seem like a political answer. i think that the president-elect has got an extraordinarily talented bench to draw from. for all of the positions in this cabinet. i have every confidence he will make great choices. i'm going to leave it with that. i like the choices he's made in his chief of staff. he'saled and the people considered for positions give me confidence. ron's position in particular given experience dealing with a pandemic is absolutely vital. so i have a lot of confidence. the vice president is also saying and doing exactly the right thing. reaching out to international partners telling thm he'll restore the alignments and committed to nato.

basic staples of american diplomacy. and doing and saying the right things both domestically with covid. and internationally. >> those who watched the impeachment hearings and heard your closing argument, wouldn't be mad at the idea of you taking that job. you were demure in not saying you would or would not be interested. thank you for everything you have done over this year. have a great evening. thank you. up next on the "the reidout" the battle for control of the senate comes down it georgia. where republicans are already flooding the zone with disinformation. one of the two democratic candidates reverend war knock joins me. plus the frightening surge in covid deaths. biden says it's his top priority. trump, he can't be bothered. a lotta folks are asking me lately how to get their dishes as clean as possible. i tell them, you should try

we cannot be more clear about this crucial fact. at noon on january 20, 69 days from now. donald trump will no longer be president. yet, his death grip on the once grand old party remains. according to trump told allies he may announce plans to run for president again in 2024. cleveland style. he turned on fox news. retweeting supporters jumping off the couch like it's hot. preparing to flee to their dem god ts next platform. trump may start his own media company in effort to bring fox to its knees and steal its viewer ship. which brings us to georgia. the center of trumps last stand. trump maybe out. but the vile under belly of the politics remain. you're seeing republican incumbents purdue and lefler play the role of little trumps in effort to win run off

elections january 5. going on a blitz to paint opponents as evil socialists. not defining what they mean. and calling on georgia secretary to of state to resign over election failures that left them in the run off. without providing proof. how deliciously trumpen. thank you for being here. it's great to see you. >> great to see you. >> let's jump into it. there was a huge tweet rampage. trump was retweeting every time lefler or purdue or anyone from fox news was tweeting if democrats get senate there's a socialist hell unleashed upon the country. do you know what they mean? is that a hell you're preparing to unleash? >> no, i don't know what they mean. they don't know, either. this would be funny if it weren't sad. and cynical.

i am moving all across the state of georgia and i'm talking to real georgiaens. who are struggling with real issues. and kelly lefler has been in the senate now for ten months. she's done a great job protecting herself. making political calculations. dumping millions of dollars of stock. that was her response to the pandemic. meanwhile georgia hasn't seen relief in many months. and so, i guess if you don't have an agenda for working families the best thing is -- i'm focussed on getting georgia healthcare. >> to your point, this is the state of covid in your state. 413,000 cases. nearly 8,900 death. 3,600 cases in 24 hours. more people than died in nine lem lem

eleven. these are huge numbers. leflly's husband owns the stock exchange. dumping stock in march after getting a briefing how bad covid can be. and buying stock helpful to him. the wnba cannot stand her and she can't stand black lives matter. how do you wrap up the case against her? if you put it in one log line. in your mind. >> she's been terribly consistent. every move she makes has to do with kelly lefler. when she heard about the coronavirus pandemic, she made moves helpful to her. dump millions of dollars of stock. the attack on the women on our basketball team, attacking black lives matter. it was about what was good for her. and georgia is still wondering who in the world is going it show up and provide covid are e le relief for the businesses

closing. we're in the middle of a pandemic. the hospital is closed. eighth hospital in ten years. and in the middle of a pandemic. i think it's time for georgia to have somebody in the senate who is thinking about them. focussed on them. that's what i spent my life doing. i'm a pastor. home of martin luther king, jr. i spent my 15 years there as the pastor of the church. focussed on the concerns of ordinary people. fighting for access to affordable healthcare. vote rights. standing up for the dignity of work. she's busy talking about me. she doesn't have much to say concerning herself and the work she's been doing to stand up for ordinary people. >> the reverend, i want to thank you. good luck. i hope you'll come back. >> thank you. by the way, ot off in the

other senate run off seat in georgia will join me tomorrow. joining me now, seen your adviser to the lincoln project. and professor of politics and journalism. you are my georgia whisperer here. you heard reverend war knock. he has the church bind him and a strong african-american vote. a lot of support. maybe president obama will come down. i guess the key question is, can you reproduce what we just saw in georgia for a senate race? that's the bottom line. the question is in your mind can that be done? >> so, that's the risk. if we look at recent evidence of run offs in the midterp elections in 2018. the drop off was 40 to 60%. in different counties. people did not come out with the same level of passion when it wasn't stacey abrams and brian kemp. there's a chance that can be done. it's important that the democrats nationalize this race.

everybody knows reverend. he's done really well. he has a high ratings. popular in the state. the issue will be getting those same people out to be just as excited about him as they were about pushing joe biden to flip the state blue. if the democrats do that, if they can make sure this race is not just atlanta vs. down state. but getting savannah involved and small black cities. if they can get the places involved i think the democrats can eke out two victories in january. >> you texted me this about about this mania for investigation. it's about to restart again. i want to talk to you. you have got lindsey graham saying we'll investigate hunter biden for four years. and russia. i wonder if nd the republican circles do they believe it's a way to motivate people to come out in georgia where they had 3,600 new cases of covid in the

last 24 hours? >> i think when you look at the republican party, throughout the entire coronavirus pandemic they have had no answers about how the to save this off. and listen to doctors and decided to launch a war on science. and they instead go back to the same plau book they have been running for the decade. which is investigate the political opponent. and do nothing to help the constituents. jason is right. the democrats have to nationalize this election. they have to make this about the bigger issues impacting this country. and the people in georgia are feeling every day the impacts of coronavirus. if this election is about the pandemic and saving lives and science and health and doctors and medicine and fact, democrats have a real shot. what they cannot allow to have happen is republicans to do what they have done. distort things. muddy the water. conspiracy theories drive the entire narrative.

democrats have to be disciplined and on message and precise and vicious. >> the thing is what they're doing right now to be vicious is just to say they are all socialists. everything is a socialist. that's what they keep saying. i wonder if democrats are breaking through with a counter message that what they're saying is they don't want to give you healthcare and give you a check for the stimulus check. that's the answer. are you hearing democrats give that answer? >> they're attempting to. they are attempting to. here's the other thing at play. when i talk to people down this, you hear different answers. what i think if you combine the two is don't you want to be important? georgia base clu gets to make sure the election matters. the win you get people out to vote is not telling them you're the 47th vote.

it's telling them you might be the 51st. if democrats blast the message that we can be the ones to take joe biden over the line, that i think is most effective. i have been to atlanta, it's one of my favorite places to be. masks and coronavirus are not concerning people. as much as they should. that's not an insult to the city. the non-mask mandate and behavior of kemp. coronavirus isn't as much as a driver in the state as it should be. the lack of healthcare access the slow down of the hollywood industry. nobody wants to film there. those are things that if they say look we're trying to bring business back and can be the ones to make it happen. joe biden can't get it done without us. deliver it home. that's effective. >> it seems that president obama will go down there. does it help or hurt lefler and os off -- and purdue. if trump comes down there? not that he -- by the way i

doubt trump gives a damn about senate republicans. and fly down there and help them. would it help them if he did go do a rally or remind georgia in the sixth district how much they despise him? >> jason was onto something talking about the importance of making sure the people know their vote matters. and it counts. what we're seeing now as they side with trump is that your vote doesn't matter. your vote doesn't count. donald trump going there remind people of trump of course is so hurt georgia went blue. he won't go down there. the idea your vote right now your senators in georgia are saying that when you voted for joe biden, when this state went blue, that should be invalidated. is an important message democrats shouldn't relent on. own what they're doing. complicit in under mining

democracy and steal the election. >> democrats will have to do it again in two years. you know stacey abrams will run for governor. kp crank this thing up one more time. thank you. still ahead. hospitals across the country are struggling to keep up with a frightening surge of covid patients. healthcare professionals say it's not just covid patients suffering. >> the fact is the hospitals are getting overrun. we are almost at capacity. it's not just effecting covid patients. the influx of patients there's a real possibility that you show up somewhere to get care, a car accident. i'm sorry we can't help you. the surfaces in your home in 24 hours. try microban 24. spray on hard surfaces to kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria initially, including the virus that causes covid-19.

operates 14 hospitals in the southwest and western michigan announce their hospitals are nearing capacity. south dakota set another record today for the number of new coronavirus cases. and in wisconsin, hospitals might no longer be able to safe those who need saving because the surge is overwhelming the health system there. infectious disease experts warned the surge is likely to get worse. over the next few weeks. >> this pandemic has affected more people and the hospital capacity in hospitalizations in much broader fashion than anything i have seen before. >> it's only going to get worse. because the community spread the more and more everybody is affected from all sides. >> wear a mask. i almost died from it. it's more serious than people think.

i think people aren't taking it serious enough. >> joining me now. internal medicine physician. and president of the global health counsel and member of the president-elect joe biden covid advisory board. trying to speak tonight. doctor, my friend, we heard doctor baker in the -- i don't know if you hard the tease. he made a point people put to the back of mind. hospitals do more than treat covid. he was saying that here's the challenge. they have other patients that they are not able to get to. they are not able to give proper time to and have to turn away because covid is surging all capacity. taking up all the beds. are we looking at a multiple health crisis that we are looking at in the fall and winter season? >> yeah. it's a really good to see you. as hospitals across the nation

are being crushed by the massive surge of covid patients. as a position this is affecting me professionally. in new york. but it's impacting me personally. two days ago my father was hospitalized. for shortness of breath. it wasn't for covid-19. he was waiting in the emergency room for a long time. awaiting for a bed up in the floor. because the hospital is full of people infected with covid-19. my father's story is not unique. as you pointed out in the excellent footage. we head into what's modelers and experts are predicting to be a dire winter season. millions of people with all types of medical conditions from liver disease and heart disease hepatitis and cancer may get

turned away. remember the elementation isn't just space. it's not just hospital beds. it's equipment and ventilators and medication. most really post precious commodity the is going to be healthcare workers. those front line nurses and respiratory therapists and doctors. physical therapists. occupational therapists. it takes years to train the brave hard working men and women. they are getting burned out. and they're getting sick. this is what needs to be addressed since the federal leader aren't -- they surrendered on this. we need to depend on local leader to step up. >> we wish your dad well. welcome to the show. i want to let you -- there's a debate. that's happening now. we see it in new york city. there's a whole debate over lock down. and a lot of small businesses that are struggling and winter

you can't seat people outside. the idea we go back into serious lock down and close restaurants. it's traumatizing small business owners and other things. i want to listen to the debate. the first person you'll hear, on the advisory board. for incoming president joe biden. as well as dr. fauci. who are giving you the two side of the question on lock down. >> we can pay for a package right now. to cover the all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers. for losses to small companies to smeed yum size. city, states, county goths. we can do that. we could lock down for four to six weeks and we could drive the numbers down. >> dr. fauci, do you believe that we're headed for national lock down? >> i don't know. we would like to stay away from

that. there's no appetite for locking down. >> i want to point out an epidemiologist and professor at the infectious disease university of minnesota. he's backed down from that position. since then. and incoming president joe biden said that's not what he's for. should we be thinking about a four to six week lock down to get a hold of the virus? >> i think that those two interviews reflect the spectrum of the opinion that you will find. among the scientific community. we are all clear on the core public health principles and practices to have and keep in place. of course everyone as individuals has a role to play. president-elect himself said we should all be wearing masks and limiting our social interaction and gatherings. however painful that might be. these steps we can each take are

important and of course we need to also still have the very real systemic measures that we need to have in place. these are the kind of things the advisory board will be consulting on. and recommending for the incoming administration. ensuring there's clearly a ramp up of testing and we have strong supply chains so we're not running out in ppe and preventive measures and of course supporting the public health and healthcare infrastructure. which is under strained now. even before we see the wave that we're fearing. it's a nightmare situation. of course we're going to also have perhaps some debates as part of the board. that's what they selected us. they want a diversity of thought and perspective. not just the approaches and solutions but given various backgrounds. reck nidsing we will be focussed on health exwity and disparity.

i'm looking forward to that. i'm grateful the president-elect brought us together. i'm confident especially given the plans they have in place until now, i'm confident we can really find a solution for the american people. it's really going to take all of us and require society approach. >> for a lot of people it's a are leaf to see the diversity on the counsel. and the disparity is one of the things talked about. quickly, doctor gupta was on the other day saying if he can pick one thing to do it's send everybody a n 95 mask. >> i'm so glad you brought up the idea. n 95s are a critical front line healthcare workers. right now we have enough data to show masks themselves can reduce transmission. it's not happening. it needs to be mandated.

seat belts are mandated. we have ten to 15 times that casualty from covid. we know to prevent it. i don't care what kind of mask. just wear one. >> do you agree with that? >> well, i certainly am fully on board with the idea of masks. i know not just the idea. but the recommendation. and we know the president-elect has spoken about the importance of working with local and state leader to ensure we are practicing that consistently on the national level. >> and distancing too. >> yes. of course. all the above. >> our own in house advisory board. thank you for being here. republicans love to accusations of voter fraud. it's not democrats playing dirty. the political tricks republicans used and are using now. after the break.

are they projecting? maybe. it's something they have actually done. like north carolina republican collected and filled out absentee palettes for votes for republican candidates. this idea can go beyond the actual changing of votes. it failed. republicans were the ones trying to get kanye west on the ballot. to take votes away from biden. the trump campaign tried to win votes trafficking in misinformation in florida. running an ad tieing joe biden to venezuela socialist regime. the real problem is a will the of the time we don't know who is biden the attempt to influbs voters. dark money is that. dark. take the situation in state senate district 37. the race was so close they had to do a manual recount. the republican candidate wound up winning by 34 votes. but third party candidate rodriguez with the same last name as the democratic candidate got more than 6,000 votes.

democratic strategist told miami that rodriguez is a plant. >> there's a level of certainty that the name confusion will play a factor. >> it's all part of a familiar pattern in florida. >> the sort of out of the dirty tricks campaign handbook. certainly miami and the florida is very used to. at times. >> it wasn't just this race. here's miami on the reporting. >> two political action committees funded the campaign. and two others. campaign records show only one expenditure by the pack. for mailers. anonymous donor named -- is the only campaign donor contributing $360,000 to the three campaigns. >> so maybe instead of making up allegations of voter fraud the country as a whole can look at

efforts to mislead voters. with fake news, robo calls and fliers with the wrong election day. or suspiciously planted candidates. and have less money and more democracy in the politics. up next i'll talk to congresswoman presley on how to turn congresswoman iana pressly how to turn out votes and energize the party. we'll be right back. d energize the party. we'll be right back.

in the preface to his new book "a promised land" former president barack obama writes that our democracy seems to be teetering on the brink of crisis. a crisis rooted in a fundamental contest between two opposing visions of what america is and what it should be. no single election will settle the matter. our divisions run deep, our challenges are daunting. i'm joined now by massachusetts

congresswoman ayanna pressley. i want to read just one more tiny piece of it which gets to a lot of i think why we're here right now and this is from president obama's book. it was as if my very presence in the white house had triggered a deep-seated panic. a sense of a natural order had been disputed which is exactly what donald trump understood when he began pedaling assertions i'd not been born in the united states and was an illegitimate president. that hasn't ended. donald trump's 72 million voters proved it hasn't ended for a lot of people. so in your mind how do democrats message in that kind of an environment? >> well, first i just want to say how much i appreciate the insight and the candor of the president, and it really just proves racism is systemic. it is structural. it is pervasive. and it's a further demonstration

of what it is to be black in a america and that as a black man in america even as president of the united states that you are not exempt from obstruction, injustice, from humiliation. you know james baldwin reminds us not everything that is faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it is faced. this is moment of national reckoning. the most enermarginalized communities in response to that reckoning decisively elected moving this broad deep coalition of black and brawn indigenous, disabled, aapi, young people to turn the page in this dark chapter in our history to defeat donald trump. the movement met the moment. and now it is up to us to advance policies that will meet the needs of those in the

movement to get to the root of generations of legislative hurt and harm, and again, the evil that is systemic racism. >> well, you know one of the things president obama was forced to do -- a lot of the changes he was able to make other than health care which he managed to get through jumping through a lot of hoops to get that through and not exactly as he wanted it to be, but he had to rely on a lot of executive orders. we're now seeing sort of dueling executive orders planned. you have donald trump planning to do a flurry of executive orders going out. he also put health care in there, china, et cetera, school choice. but you're seeing already in coming president biden saying we're going to have to do a lot of reversing stuff, re? stating daca, repealing the

muslim travel ban, rejoining the paris climate accords. are we going to be looking at four years of rule by executive order again because of a recalcitrant senate if georgia does not flip blue? >> i think, first of all, we're going to do everything in our power and i'm trusting and believing in those organizers on the ground and stacey abrams, and i certainly will be going to georgia myself to ensure we do in fact flip those seats and regain control of the senate, to stop the obstruction of progress and justice and the advancing of a relief package to really meet the scale and scope of this crisis. notwithstanding that, though, joy, this last four years has really been a fire hose of insult and assault and hurt and harm. so the immediate priority for democrats in the incoming biden-harris administration first must be a comprehensive covid relief that really meet the scale and scope of this

crisis for the american people. and there's a lot president biden can do unilaterally to mitigate the hurt and harm of the last four years. for me some of those priorities of what i would like to see are canceling student debt which i see as both a racial justice issue and critical to an equitable economic recovery from the impacts of this pandemic. protect dreamers and tps holders in the family separation policy. support reproductive justice by reverse these harmful anti-choice rules and regulations, end the muslim travel ban which they've already indicated they will do. for me beginning moving on a decarceral action, so ending the use of the federal death penalty. and climate change a national emergency. these are some of the things to dig out from the hurt and horror

caused by this administration and also meet the needs of this movement which just made this victory possible for democracy to live another day. >> i think young voters are going to be cheering what you're saying because that's what my kids are focused on the things you just talked about. congresswoman ayanna pressley, thank you for joining us. and that is the reid out. all in with chris hayes starts right now. tonight on all in. >> i'm more troubled by the fact officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humoring him in this fashion. >> republicans maintain the dangerous charade. the transition continues and the biden margin grows. tonight how the trump campaign is arguing against itself in court and how the electoral college will show donald trump the exit. then the party of covid. how the republican party is increasingly taking the side of the virus after another infection fro
