'The election is over, we do have a new president': Ted Olson

The lawyer who successfully argued the Bush v Gore case and went on to become George W. Bush's solicitor general has said Joe Biden won the election and will be the next president.

Ted Olson, 80, told a panel at the deeply-conservative Federalist Society that he rejected Donald Trump’s wild accusations that the election was stolen from him, and to his mind the 2020 election has been decided.

“I do believe the election is over, we do have a new president,” said Mr Olson.

Mr Olson joins a growing list of respected Republicans - among them Karl Rove, John Bolton, George W. Bush and his brother Jeb - who have concluded that Mr Trump must leave the White House in January.

simply acknowledges reality. We have got to start making them accountable for living in an alternate reality whenever they so choose. By 'we' I mean all Americans collectively, including the press.
