Trump fears Giuliani, other lawyers in Biden vote challenge are 'fools that are making him look bad'
Source: CNBC
President Donald Trump is sweating over his campaign lawyers’ dismal and often outlandish efforts to reverse President-elect Joe Biden’s projected electoral victory.
Trump is worried that his campaign’s legal team, which is being led by his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, is comprised of “fools that are making him look bad,” NBC News reported Monday.
That crew, which has unironically called itself an “elite strike force team,” to date has failed to win any legal victories that would invalidate votes for Biden, the former Democratic vice president, even as the legal eagles tout wildly broad claims of fraud for which they have offered no convincing evidence.

The CTA will run its holiday train and buses, despite the coronavirus pandemic, but only Santa, his elves and CTA workers, not regular riders, will be able to board this year because of COVID-19 dangers, the transit agency announced Friday.
The holiday train will start making its runs Nov. 27, the day after Thanksgiving, the agency said in a news release Friday. Holiday buses will start moving through Chicago’s neighborhoods Dec. 1.
“Santa and his elves will stay socially distanced this holiday season, meaning that customers won’t be able to board the CTA Holiday Train or the CTA Holiday Bus,” according to the release. “Instead, the CTA Holiday Fleet will run along each rail line and multiple bus routes, spreading holiday cheer across the city.”
The six-car holiday train will be “decorated with holiday scenes, thousands of sparkling lights and bright LED signage displays,” with Santa and his reindeer riding on a flatbed car in the middle of the train, according to the release.

PoliticoRepublicans are worried it’s just the start of what’s in store from the soon-to-be-former president.
Trump’s attacks on Govs. Brian Kemp of Georgia and Mike DeWine Ohio — both of whom are up for reelection in 2022 — has led to broader concerns within the party that he will use his post-presidency to exact revenge on perceived enemies and insert himself into races in ways that are not helpful.
While the 2022 midterm elections are a ways off, the president’s broadsides are giving fuel to would-be primary challengers in both states — raising the prospect that Republicans will be forced into ugly and expensive nomination fights that could jeopardize their hold on the two governors’ mansions.
Heitkamp's centrist path to USDA secretary
PoliticoAs MA readers know, there’s already a heated debate among food and farm groups about who should get the job — including a fierce backlash from progressives against former North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a moderate Democrat who is considered one of the frontrunners to oversee USDA under the Biden administration.
Amid criticism from the left that she’s too friendly with big agribusinesses and fossil fuel interests, Heitkamp is largely keeping her head down and leaning into her centrist credentials, our Helena Bottemiller Evich and Liz Crampton write this a.m. The former Senate Ag member who lost her seat in 2018 has since launched a bipartisan climate initiative, collected plaudits from Republicans and worked quietly to maintain her ties to Democratic ag insiders.
On a conference call with rural organizers earlier this month, including the Biden campaign’s rural engagement director, Heitkamp praised the campaign’s appeal to rural voters and said she wants to see those efforts continue under the Biden administration and into future elections.
