Election Day saw incumbent Donald Trump lose the presidential election. And while he believes he deserved to win, it’s very unlikely—if not impossible—for him to flip nearly 300,000 votes across three states to overturn the election results. However, Nov. 3 was still a great night for the Republican Party.… Read the rest at our website.
