Background reading:


Days after President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. was declared the winner (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/07/us/politics/biden-election.html?smid=pc-thedaily) of the election, President Trump has still refused to concede.
Advisers to the president say Mr. Trump is seeing how far he can push his case (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/12/us/politics/trump-future.html?smid=pc-thedaily) and ensure the continued support of his Republican base.
A number of leading Republicans have rallied around the president (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/09/us/politics/republicans-trump-concede-2020-election.html?smid=pc-thedaily), declining to challenge the false narrative that it was stolen from him. Instead, senators have tiptoed around the reality of Mr. Trump’s loss (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/us/politics/republicans-trump-concede.html?smid=pc-thedaily), and the lack of evidence to suggest widespread election fraud (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/us/politics/voting-fraud.html?smid=pc-thedaily) or improprieties that could reverse that result.
