Biden is the de facto president, just like any other dictator who completes a coup gets that title. Whether he is the president de jure is another matter that is still before SCOTUS, and can be litigated through a writ of quo warranto in the U.S. District Court for the D.C. District. It was a sham election, and he is a sham president. As long as Cawthorn objected to those electors being counted, not much more can be asked of him. Many did not.

It’s the old internal pressure tactics. Sone old guard bulls take the youngster aside privately and tell him how impressed they are by his victory, that he has a bright future in the party, and that the key to success is to be “patient”, learn to be a “team player, and one day soon you will be supported for a leadership position. A junior committee role, then if you do well and don’t make waves, something even better. It’s all about being patient, and remembering Reagan’s 11th commandment “Thou shalt not talk ill of another Republican (unless that other Republican is a true conservative). The young lad is in awe as Minority Leader McCarthy gives him a wink and thumbs up, and invites him to lunch soon with an influential person in. SuperPAC. It’s happened time and time again.

I look forward to the day that quo warranto crap gets banned in this forum. Biden is both the de facto and the de jure President of the United States. Awful as it is, the election was certified by the Congress and he was sworn in. Shouldn’t have happened. The Legislatures should have acted. But the sooner we recognize unequivocally that no magic wand is going to change that, the sooner we can figure out what we can do about removing President Harris in 2024
