President Trump is lashing out at the Supreme Court after it rejected his latest effort to overturn the results of last month’s presidential election.
In a tweet overnight, Mr. Trump said, “The Supreme Court really let us down. No Wisdom, No Courage!” after the court’s 7-2 ruling rejected a push from Texas to block electors in four battleground states from voting in the Electoral College.
The decision effectively ends the president’s five-week effort to legally challenge President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
In rejecting the lawsuit, the court wrote that “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.”
The four states — Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin — all went to Mr. Biden.
The lawsuit filed Monday by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked the court to invalidate the four key states’ votes, but judges across the country have repeatedly tossed out those claims due to a lack of evidence.
