That’s what I worry about". “A president that lost and lost badly. This was not like a close election. You look at Georgia. We won Georgia big. We won the Pennsylvania big. We won the Wisconsin big. We won it big,” he added. On Friday, the US Supreme Court had rejected a bid by Texas attorney general to block the ballot of voters in battleground states that favored President-elect Joe Biden. The court’s move to dismiss the challenge that is the strongest indication yet that Trump has no chance of overturning the election leads to the court that even the justices whom he placed there haven't any interest in allowing his desperate legal bids to continue.

  Biden’s Cabinet looks more like a team of buddies. President-elect Joe Biden has worked with the previous aide he wants to be secretary of state since their time at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee within the 1990s. His nominee for agriculture secretary endorsed his first presidential bid quite 30 years ago. And he knows his choice for Pentagon chief from the retired general’s time in Iraq, where Biden’s son Beau, a military lawyer, also served on the general’s staff. For all the talk that Biden is abiding by a sophisticated formula of ethnicity, gender, and knowledge as he builds his administration and he is perhaps the foremost important criteria for landing a cupboard post or a top White House job appear to be having a long-standing relationship with the president-elect himself.
