President Donald Trump continues to fuel a political limbo of sorts several days after losing the U.S. election, whether in public, stony silence or by unleashing furious tweetstorms.
Trump’s visit — solemn and silent — was his first public outing on official business since he lost his battle for another term in office. He’s still fighting that battle, prodding prosecutors to find the fraud he points to without supporting evidence.
Trump loyalists have filed at least 15 legal challenges in Pennsylvania alone in an effort to reclaim the state’s 20 electoral votes. There’s action, too, on the legal front in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Michigan as the president insists without evidence that the election was stolen from him. Yet election officials nationwide from both parties say there’s been no conspiracy. Experts doubt the suits can reverse the outcome in a single state, let alone the election. Trump aides and allies have privately admitted as much, suggesting the challenges are designed more to stoke his base.
