Just spit balling, but repeatedly asking questions like “did biden win?” just gets people used to the non-response. I think Rs have realized they can say anything and there’s isn’t ever a record-scratch moment. They’re happy to not say Biden won for as long as Ds like.

Travesties like this process carry an after-scent. The stink on Clayton and Congress won’t wear off.
