Less than four years after appearing alongside Donald Trump as a fellow Republican candidate for president, Carly Fiorina went against her party this year and endorsed Joe Biden.
During an appearance at Yahoo Finances All Markets Summit in October, Fiorina laid out a scenario that might lead her back to her old party. She imagined Trump losing and then there is perhaps an interesting conversation in the Republican Party featuring those like her who did not support Trump about the future of the Republican Party after Trump.
The first part of the scenario has come true President-elect Biden secured 306 electoral votes and 51% of the popular vote but the second part of Fiorinas scenario doesnt seem to be happening.
Trumps ongoing refusal to concede defeat is not about overturning the election, said Fiorina in a follow-up interview with Yahoo Finance, but instead, this is all about Donald Trump's political power with the base.

That's all Trump has ever cared about was his base. He never gave a damn about anyone else. That's why he lost.
Why's he too stupid to get that?

(2,248 posts)If you think there's a Republican Party to reclaim after Biden's inauguration, you're sadly mistaken. It's been hijacked by Trump and that hostage is never being released. It sucks, but you're better off starting a new party. Good luck!
