I hope Mike is going to do the right thing, said Trump. I hope so, I hope so, because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election. All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify and we become president and you are the happiest people, he told his supporters, also adding that he would never concede.
However, on Wednesday Pence told Congress that he does not believe he has the ability to unilaterally accept or reject electoral votes, breaking with Trump.
In a letter, Pence said he shares the concerns of millions of Americans about the integrity of this election.

Despite Tuesday night showing a Democratic sweep in the Georgia Senate runoff election, the mood on MSNBC was anything but joyous. Instead, various hosts and panelists threw a pity party for fellow leftists, bemoaning supposed Republican voter suppression efforts and insisting Republicans should be shamed from political life as un-American racists who won’t win another presidential election.
Feigning concern for the GOP’s future, MSNBC political analyst and Lincoln Project senior advisor Michael Steele griped in the 10:30 p.m. Eastern half-hour that the Democrats would win because Republicans “allowed it to happen this way” and that they should think on their sins.

President Trump piled more pressure on Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday, saying that he will never concede defeat and demanding that his loyal deputy refuse to certify the results of November’s election.
With his political power evaporating, along with Republican hopes of holding the Senate, Trump emerged from the White House to address thousands of supporters just before members of Congress were due to meet and formalize Joe Biden’s election win.
He repeated a string of discredited conspiracy theories about vote-rigging, claims rejected by courts across the country, and called on supporters to march on the Capitol.

Trump supporters heaped scorn Wednesday on congressional Republicans who are certifying President-elect Joseph R. Biden’s Electoral College results, vowing to drive them out of office one by one.
At a “March for Trump” rally near the White House, allies of President Trump said they won’t forget what they call Republicans’ betrayal of the president.
“In two years, every politician that turns their back on our country will lose their seat,” said Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson. “Even if they think for a second that they’re going to get away with it today, they’ve got another thing coming. Today is just the beginning. We are taking names today.”
