Trump: "You know the way it was asked. I was looking at you." Reporter: "No you weren't sir. I wasn't there yesterday."

Lincoln did not delay elections during the Civil War. FDR did not delay elections during World War II.

Reminder: Russia signed a binding international agreement in 1994 committing "to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine” and “to refrain from the threat or use of force” against the country.

Trump @PressSec confirms that White House has suspended the hard pass of a reporter because it doesn't like the way he does his job. This is something I've never seen since I started covering the White House in 1996. Other presidents did not fear tough questioning.

In the Rose Garden, Trump calls himself "an ally of all peaceful protesters." At the very same moment outside the White House, police and troops have moved against peaceful protesters with tear gas and flash bangs.

Is it really possible that the president of the United States is the only person who doesn't understand that stopping the count at this point would mean Biden wins?

Jobs created during the first 21 months of Trump’s presidency and the final 21 months of Obama’s presidency: Trump: 4,054,000 Obama: 4,477,000 So job creation is no better now than it was under Obama. What is striking is that the recovery continues so long after it started.

Old enough to remember when it would have been shocking to see a former president admit that his goal was to have "overturned the Election."

Very haunting listening now to the bells at Washington National Cathedral tolling for the 200,000 killed by the coronavirus in the United States.

Friend reminds us that the night before the 2009 inauguration, Obama and McCain joined together for a bipartisan unity dinner. Obama praised McCain as "an American hero." McCain vowed to "do the best I can to help you in the hard work ahead." images.app.goo.gl/7XH1R9wugqRZ2z…

The Bidens stop at Call Your Mother, the bagel shop in Georgetown, en route back to the White House -- already a big change. Trying to remember but can't recall Trump ever stopping anywhere in DC other than his own hotel.
