«The problem is it’s hard to get it to the Supreme Court,» Trump said.
President Donald Trump questioned on Sunday whether the Supreme Court would ever hear a case airing his unproven allegations of widespread election fraud as more U.S. Republicans said a transition to a Joe Biden presidency looked inevitable. Trump’s comments in a telephone interview with Fox News suggested the Republican president was growing resigned to the results of the Nov.3 election, which handed the White House to his Democratic opponent. Trump’s team was dealt another blow with the completion on Sunday of recounts in Wisconsin’s two largest counties that confirmed Biden won the hotly contested state by more than 20,000 votes. Trump campaign attorney Jenna Ellis said the recounts “revealed serious issues regarding the legality of ballots cast,” without elaborating or providing any evidence. “We want every legal vote, and only legal votes, to be counted, and we will continue to uphold our promise to the American people to fight for a free and fair election,” Ellis said in a statement. Biden’s campaign responded that the recount “only served to reaffirm” the Democrat’s victory and praised Wisconsin election workers for their efforts. Separately, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that Biden had picked members of his economic team, including Neera Tanden, president of the progressive Center for American Progress think tank, as director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Cecilia Rouse, a labor economist at Princeton University, to chair the Council of Economic Advisers.
