Trump suffers twin defeats in his effort to overturn Biden's victory in key states
Trump received twin blows Friday to his effort to overturn his election defeat, with Georgia officials certifying President-elect Joe Bidens slim victory there and Michigan Republicans declaring after a White House meeting that they had learned nothing to warrant reversing the outcome in their state.

Trump this week made an extraordinarily personal intervention in Michigan, where his lawyers hope to stall the states certification of the vote, set to be considered at a meeting Monday, and get the GOP-controlled legislature to appoint pro-Trump electors to the electoral college. Trump trails Biden in Michigan by about 156,000 votes.
But even after a personal invitation to the White House by the president, the states top two GOP lawmakers notably did not endorse his baseless claims of widespread fraud in the state and instead said they used the meeting to press Trump for more coronavirus relief funds.
We have not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan, Shirkey and Chatfield said in their joint statement.

Meanwhile, in Georgia, Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified Bidens roughly 12,000-vote win, and Gov. Brian Kemp, also a Republican, signed the certification, leaving little chance for a delay of the seating of Bidens electors there. Trump can still request a recount in the state, but Raffensperger who has resisted pressure from Trumps allies to support their claims of irregularities in the vote has said he does not expect such an exercise to change the outcome.
