Former White House aide and veteran political analyst Karl Rove is throwing cold water on President Trump‘s hopes that recounts and lawsuits will overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election and swing the contest back in his favor.
Trump’s efforts “are unlikely to move a single state from Mr. Biden’s column, and certainly they’re not enough to change the final outcome,” Rove wrote in an op-ed published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal.
Democratic nominee Joe Biden was projected as the winner of the presidential election on Saturday and Trump has declined to concede that he was defeated.
Election analysts have said Biden’s margins are too large to make a materiel difference in several of the states in which Trump is mounting challenges.
“There is no evidence of that so far,” Rove wrote. “Unless some emerges quickly, the President’s chances in court will decline precipitously when states start certifying results.”
