Of states Trump tried to contest, only Wisconsin has yet to certify. That's coming up in 2.5 hours.

After certification, Trump will continue to try to bully Republican legislatures to attempt to appoint fake electors. Those efforts will continue until the Electoral College votes on 12/14, two weeks from today.

That effort is highly likely to collapse without the "fake elector" strategy actually being tried (and that strategy would probably fail even if tried).

So after 12/14, Trump will have to decide whether to give up, or try to simply declare himself President...

And since simply declaring himself President would almost certainly end very badly and very violently for Trump, my expectation is that he will give up, while still forever insisting that the election was rigged and that he actually won.

But we'll see! 2 more weeks.
