U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) speaks at a news conference with other House Republicans on December 10, 2020 at the U.S. Capitol in Washington. Erin Scott | Reuters House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. President Donald Trump urged the High Court to reconsider the case filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton earlier this week, adding that Rep. Mike Johnson was included in the R-La-led “friend of the court” summary. Paxton’s lawsuit alleges Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin – the four major swing states that defeated Biden Trump – will attest to “illegal election results.” Texas is asking the Supreme Court to declare the electoral college votes cast by voters in those four oscillating states “uncountable.” All 50 states and Washington D.C. have now certified their election results. Biden is expected to get 306 election votes, compared to 232 for Trump. The Supreme Court has given no indication that it will hear the case, and election legal experts say judges are less likely to take it up. An unprecedented request by a state that the votes of other states be invalid in a presidential election has never been granted before. However, the case has been exaggerated by Trump, who falsely claims to have won re-election while refusing to acknowledge Pita. Trump was asked to intervene in the case of Paxton on Wednesday. Many states where the Trump people voted have identified their support for Paxton’s case, as well as dozens of sitting Republican members – a group now including McCarthy. With less than a week to go before the election for Biden Weeks in the respective states, many Republicans are reluctant to acknowledge Biden’s victory in the election. Asked if he was point-blank at CNBC’s “Squaw Box” on Thursday, McCarthy acknowledged the victory, but declined to say yes or no. “Behold, the electorate must pass it by,” McCarthy said in his response. “Mr. President, he must ensure that every legitimate vote is counted, that every review is made, and that every complaint is confirmed. [is being] Asked in court. I think once it is over and the election is over, the voters will make their decision. “McCarthy was not included in the previous amicus summary filed in court on Thursday, which was chaired by Johnson and had 106 signatures by a total of Republican councilors.
