To 160,000 cases a day, and we havent even begun to feel the effect of Holiday Travel and gettogethers. We may see a surge, upon a surge. We dont want to frighten people, but thats just the reality. We said that these things would happen, as we got into the cold weather and as we began traveling. And theyve happened. Its going to happen, again. Our medical and publichealth experts will join us, in a bit, to talk about the moment dr. Fauci describes. The president , meantime, is neither done nor said anything that might help us through that period. Hes too busy, trying to overturn the election he lost. And keeps losing, in court and in recounts. And yet again, as states officially certify the vote. Seriously. He once said we would get tired of all the winning. He, clearly, never gets tired of all the losing. He keeps losing the 2020 election, again, and again and again. Late today, wisconsin made joe bidens victory official there and earlier today, arizona did the same. We do elections

May even have repercussions for today when both chambers of congress gather to count the electoral votes. I wonder if republicans who were going to go in there with the undemocratic mission of overturning the election were going to be chasing. Jon ossoff speaking now. Lets listen. A confidence and trust our state and our country. When hundreds of thousands have lost their lives, millions have lost livelihoods, georgia families are having difficulty putting food on the table, fearing foreclosure or eviction, having difficulty making ends meet.
