Trump may continue to campaign after Election Day if results are not finalized: report

Top surrogates for President Trump’s reelection campaign have been told that the president could hold campaign events even after the election on Nov. 3, Politico reported.

A campaign surrogate and two Trump aides confirmed to the outlet that campaign advisers have said not to rule out additional campaign rallies as ballots continue to be counted past Election Day next week.

“Don't miscount the fact that Trump will continue to do rallies while they're still counting votes,” one adviser to the Trump campaign told Politico.

A record number of voters are set to vote by mail this year amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, meaning that election results in critical swing states might not be confirmed on Nov. 3. The president and his family might continue campaigning as election officials close in on a final result.

This won't end unless half the GOP Senate goes to Trump with the same message they gave to Nixon

"You don't have the votes, Captain."

And in Trump's case they must add, "That's how democracy works."

have the money? He’s already turned advertising duties in Florida over to the RNC who will probably push back on spending MORE money after the fact if it’s fairly clear Trump has lost.

...even though it takes a few days to count them after election day.
Let him continue to be occupied with thinking he can still win votes.
Prop up some mirrors for him to admire himself and keep him supplied with hired rally goers.
Meanwhile, Presidential Elect Biden will be busy planning his Administration.

Without them he is nothing.

When he loses he'll declare his candidacy for 2024. If he wins (god help us,) he'll start getting his enablers to work on a Constitutional amendment to allow a 3rd term.

He will be holding rallies for the rest of his miserable life.

He will be labeled a loser by the vast majority.

The election will be over.

People have other things to do.

It will continue to get colder and colder everywhere except the Deep South and florida.
