Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) continued to refuse to concede the race to Senator-elect Dave McCormick (R-PA) in Pennsylvania’s Senate race, despite several outlets having called the election in McCormick’s favor. In a video posted to X, Casey stated that “close to seven million people” in Pennsylvania had cast their votes in the election last Tuesday, adding that county election officials would “finish counting those votes.” Casey’s post came as McCormick attended Senate orientation after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) previously received criticism from Republican senators for not allowing McCormick to attend the orientation.

Funny how the defenders of "democracy" behave when they do not like its results.Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, who narrowly lost his re-election bid to Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick, has refused to concede the race.Moreover, according to one report, Casey has mounted a legal challenge. "McCormick was leading by more than 30,000 votes when AP called the race at 4:09 p.m., and though there were an estimated 91,000 votes still outstanding, there were not enough in areas supporting Casey for him to make up the difference," the outlet explained.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., appeared somber and teary-eyed while waiting to see defeated candidate Vice President Kamala Harris make a concession speech on Wednesday. Arriving at Howard University in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday afternoon, Pelosi was photographed greeting Harris supporters while appearing tearful. In a particularly emotional picture, Pelosi pouted as if just about to weep, and had watery eyes. Other pictures showed Pelosi smiling at the event and mingling with attendees. Harris' concession speech comes after a historic neck-and-neck presidential race ended with a victory for former President Trump early Wednesday morning. While the election was expected...

The Democrats’ replacement candidate has been missing in action since her Election Day loss to Donald Trump. Former President Donald Trump has definitively won the 2024 presidential election. Even the lachrymose corporate media have begrudgingly conceded that fact. But it seems Vice President Kamala Harris has entered the witness relocation program. The Democrats’ replacement candidate was missing in action on election night, when she skipped her scheduled post-election appearance at her alma mater Howard University. Even as the writing was on the wall, as Election Day turned to the day after, Harris’ campaign chief Jen Brigid O’Malley-Dillon (the ultimate elitist-white-female-sounding...

Nearly three-quarters of Americans, 74 percent, believe former President Trump will refuse to concede if he loses the 2024 election, a significant increase from similar surveys in 2020. The CNN poll released Monday signals that many voters expect election denial rhetoric to continue if Trump loses again in November. Just over half of respondents correctly expected Trump not to concede if he lost the 2020 election, about 55 percent in August 2020 and 58 percent in October of that year. He did indeed refuse to accept the results of the election, with his supporters later assaulting the Capitol on Jan....

The Associated Press and other outlets projected that Hobbs won the race on Monday. But Lake indicated she is assembling a legal team that is “collecting evidence and data” pertaining to the electoral process. “Rest assured, I have assembled the best and brightest legal team and we are exploring every avenue to correct the many wrongs that have been done this past week,” Lake said in a video address posted Thursday morning. “I’m doing everything in my power...

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) on Wednesday ripped radical Democrat Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes (D) for refusing to admit defeat. “The votes are in. In all Democrat strongholds, municipalities are reporting 100% of wards are in and counted,” Johnson said in a press release. “There is no path mathematically for Lt. Gov. Barnes to overcome his 27,374 vote deficit. This race is over.” Johnson questioned whether Barnes would accept the election result. “Will you accept defeat trailing by 27,000 votes?” Johnson asked. “In 2020, Joe Biden claimed victory in Wisconsin with a 20,000 vote margin.”

Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Monday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Donald Trump’s refusal to concede his defeat in the 2020 presidential election put the nation in a dangerous “no man’s land.” CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked about New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s new book claiming that Trump planned to stay at the White House after the election.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol “was driven from the top” by former President Donald Trump. Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “It seems like every single day, Chris Christie, we’re learning more about what was going on inside the White House in those days leading up to January 6. Most recently this week, this PowerPoint presentation that was sent to Mark Meadows detailing all the ways the White House could interfere in the investigation. It may explain why the former president and his allies are...

Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that, unlike former President Donald Trump, she did not challenge the results of the 2018 election, which she lost to Republican Brian Kemp and refused to concede amid allegations of voter suppression. Maddow said, “When you ran in 2018, part of the reason we covered the race so intently is because the candidates are both very interesting people, present company included. But also because there was a disturbing dynamic in that race which was that your Republican opponent who went on to win the race was...

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s (D) campaign is calling on his Republican opponent Jack Ciattarelli to concede last week’s election, arguing that he no longer has a path to victory. Ciattarelli, a former state legislature, had remained silent on the results of the election since last Thursday, though the current vote count currently shows him trailing Murphy by 2.6 percentage points, or a little more than 65,000 votes. While some provisional and mail-in ballots have yet to be counted, Murphy’s campaign argued that it won’t be enough to alter the outcome of the race in Ciattarelli’s favor.

New Jersey Republican Jack Ciattarelli has refused to concede the extremely tight New Jersey governor’s race to Democrat Phil Murphy despite multiple calls from mainstream media outlets. In a video posted to Twitter on Thursday evening, Ciattarelli noted he and governor Phil Murphy are only separated by a single percent in a race that still has to count early and provisional ballots, arguing that nobody should be declaring victory or conceding the election until all legal votes are counted. The process could take about a week or two.

Major news outlets have reported that political outsider Youngkin will defeat McAuliffe in the Virginia gubernatorial election. However, even though Youngkin is poised to win the election, McAuliffe said Virginia should count all of the votes before declaring a winner. “So, we still got a lot of votes to count, we have about 18 percent of the vote out,” McAuliffe said. He emphasized that “every single Virginian should have their vote counted.” McAuliffe wrote in a statement: "Folks, not everything is counted and we’re still waiting for a lot of votes to come in. And we want to ensure every...

Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ) said Tuesday night that he would not concede the election as he trails Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli in a race that is too close to call. Murphy told his supporters in Ashbury Park, New Jersey, “While, we’re gonna have to wait a little while longer than we had hoped, we’re gonna wait for every vote to be counted. And that’s how our democracy works.”

Patrick Byrne details his Friday night meeting at the White House with Sidney Powell and General Flynn, accusing WH Counsel Pat Cipollone of leaking details to the New York Times.Byrne also says Mark Meadows is lying to Trump to get him to concede.“My involvement is I was in the room when it happened. The raised voices included my own. I can promise you: President Trump is being terribly served by his advisers. They want him to lose and are lying to him. He is surrounding by mendacious mediocrities.” In addition, any suggestion if there was talk of a military coup...

Should President Trump concede to Biden? Poll Results: No: 190,593 (98.9%) Yes: 2,181 (1.1%) Total Votes: 192,774. @gregkellyusa @newsmax For the good of our Country we must prevail! What does GSA being allowed to preliminarily work with the Dems have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in American political history? We are moving full speed ahead. Will never concede to fake ballots & “Dominion”. @realDonaldTrump on Twitter.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan tore into President Trump on Sunday, telling the current White House resident to get off the golf course and concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden.

A new poll suggests that a plurality of Americans want President Donald Trump to concede the presidential election “right away,” but the figure of 46% falls short of a majority. The new Politico/Morning Consult poll of nearly 2,000 registered voters was conducted Nov. 13 to 16.

According to Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden will “eventually” win the 2020 election — or at least she believes so. In order for that to happen, however, Joe Biden must not accept the election results if things “drag out.”
