Trump, allies plot bid to block Biden
AP, WASHINGTON
US President Donald Trump on Monday hosted several Republican lawmakers at the White House to discuss an ultimately futile effort to block the Congress from affirming US president-elect Joe Biden’s victory in last month’s election.
The meeting underscored Trump’s refusal to accept the reality of his loss and his willingness to entertain undemocratic efforts to overturn the will of the majority of US voters. Biden is scheduled to be sworn in as president on Jan. 20.
With no credible legal options remaining and the Electoral College having confirmed Biden’s victory earlier this month, Trump is turning his attention to Jan. 6. That is when the Congress participates in a count of the electoral votes, which Biden won 306-232.

US lawmakers tacked on a US$1.4 trillion catchall spending bill and thousands of pages of other end-of-session business in a massive bundle of bipartisan legislation as Capitol Hill prepared to close the books on the year.
