Trump Calls Georgia Runoffs ‘Illegal and Invalid’

“President Trump took to Twitter Friday evening to make the unfounded assertion that Georgia’s two Senate races are ‘illegal and invalid,’ an argument that could complicate his efforts to convince his supporters to turn out for Republican candidates in the two runoff races that will determine which party controls the Senate,” the New York Times reports.

“Some Republican leaders are afraid that his supporters will take the president’s argument seriously, and decide that voting in a ‘corrupt’ system is not worth their time, a development that could hand the election to the Democrats.”
