Trump Reportedly Pressured Pennsylvania House Speaker to Overturn Election Results

HeadlineDec 08, 2020

CNN reports President Trump called the speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives multiple times over the past week asking him to overturn the results of the 2020 election. It’s at least the third state where Trump has tried to have lawmakers ignore the will of voters in order to send an alternate Electoral College slate to formally pick the next president. Trump remains unsuccessful in his effort. Today is the so-called safe harbor deadline for states to certify their election results.
