PA GOP Sen Pat Toomey:"With today’s decision by Judge Brann,a longtime conservative Republican whom I know to be a fair & unbiased jurist,to dismiss Trump campaign’s lawsuit,Pres Trump has exhausted all plausible legal options to challenge the result of presidential race in PA."
Toomey (R-PA): "This ruling follows a series of procedural losses for President Trump’s campaign. On Friday, the state of Georgia certified the victory of Joe Biden after a hand recount of paper ballots confirmed the conclusion of the initial electronic count."
Toomey (R-PA): "Michigan lawmakers rejected the apparent attempt by President Trump to thwart the will of Michigan voters and select an illegitimate slate of electoral college electors."

Trump campaign: "Decision turns out to help us in our strategy to get expeditiously to US Supreme Court. Although we fully disagree w/this opinion,we’re thankful to Obama-appointed judge for making this anticipated decision quickly,rather than simply trying to run out the clock."
Trump campaign: "We will be seeking an expedited appeal to the Third Circuit. There is so much evidence that in PA,Democrats eliminated our opportunity to present 50 witnesses and other evidence that election officials blatantly ignored PA’s law denying independent review."
Trump campaign: "This resulted in 682,777 ballots being cast illegally, wittingly or unwittingly. This is just an extension of the Big Tech, Big Media, Corrupt Democrat censorship of damning facts the American public needs to know."
