When I explained that that wasn’t the case in 2016 — when Donald Trump was called “president-elect” the day after the election was called for him by the networks — he switched to claiming that only if Trump “concedes” can Biden be considered president-elect.When I then asked him where it says in the Constitution that the president must concede to finalize the election, he couldn’t provide it. Basically, he was a jumble of Fox News talking points and Trump’s Twitter feed.I know — I was probably a bit too aggressive with him but I really can’t take this b******t, especially now.
