Trump Has No Path to Win, Says Bush's 2000 Florida Recount Team
(Bloomberg) -- Several of the key members of the team that helped deliver the presidency for George W. Bush after the Florida recount in 2000 dont see a path for President Donald Trump to overturn the election won by President-elect Joe Biden.
Trump has claimed he won based on early leads in Pennsylvania and other battleground states. But those leads evaporated as mail-in ballots were counted, so his campaign began filing multiple lawsuits to invalidate those ballots. The campaign has said it plans to seek a recount in Wisconsin and hopes to stop certification of the results in Pennsylvania and Michigan that would make Bidens win official.
But several members of Bushs team in 2000 predict this election wont be overturned because of the size of Bidens lead in multiple states and a lack of evidence on which to base any claims.
You cant just say, This elections tainted, throw it out, said Benjamin Ginsberg, national counsel for Bushs 2000 campaign. You have to have some specificity, and so far, theyre sorely lacking in specificity. Their airplane crashed on takeoff because they forgot to add fuel.
Ted Olson, the lead attorney for Bush in the U.S. Supreme Court case in 2000 that ended the recount in Florida and delivered the presidency for him, said theres no doubt about the outcome.
I do believe the election is over, Olson said at a Federalist Society event last week. We do have a new president.
