Biden’s current vote leads, per AP:

GA: 11,413
AZ: 14,746
NV: 36,186
PA: 45,336

Note: Recounts unlikely to help Trump. Avg. swing in 27 statewide recounts (2000-15) was 282 votes. Biggest: Gore cut 1,247 votes from Bush’s lead in FLA in 2000, still lost google.com/amp/s/fivethir…
So Trump will have to *prove* tens of thousands of votes were fraudulently switched or recorded in four states, a massive and unprecedented conspiracy given decentralized election system. AND he will need to flip a fifth state to get to 270. Tall order.
Further, he would have to provide evidence that this conspiracy was carried out under states run by Dem governors (PA, NV) and GOP governors (AZ and GA) and in states with legislatures controlled by Dems (NV) and by GOP (PA, GA and AZ). Very tall order.

It’s debatable whether ratings matter one bit at a time when people are dying and there’s a GLOBAL health crisis to deal with.

But since he brought it up, let’s check a few numbers with Mr. Nielsen. These claims could stand some perspective.

Ready?

More....
First, the White House briefings *are* widely watched, relatively speaking. Highest figure here is ~12.4 million viewers across all three cable news networks (the broadcast networks have been showing bits and pieces live and aren’t included here).
The next question is: Compared to what? Yes, the collective audience (12.4 million) rivals “Monday Night Football.” But “MNF” airs in “normal” times. These aren’t “normal” times.

So, what else are they comparable to?

President Trump, on the coronavirus, a timeline: google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…

Feb. 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China...so, we’re going to see what happens, but we did shut it down, yes.” More...
Feb. 14: “There’s a theory that, in April, when it gets warm — historically, that has been able to kill the virus. So we don’t know yet; we’re not sure yet.” (Warmer weather doesn’t “kill” a virus).

Feb. 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA...
...Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

Feb. 25: “ Cryin’ Chuck Schumer is complaining, for publicity purposes only, that I should be asking for more money than $2.5 Billion to prepare forCoronavirus.“ (Congress approved $8.3 billion on March 4).

@realDonaldTrump @nbc @Lawrence Here's a link to a tweet from @Lawrence that is also at issue:
@realDonaldTrump @nbc @Lawrence Btw: @lawrence's comment at start of his show last night:
"And this single source close to Deutsche Bank has told me that...Trump`s loan documents there show that he has co- signers. That`s how he was able to obtain those loans. And that the co- signers are Russian oligarchs."
