PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ is running out of options for contesting the election as two legal challenges were rejected by the Supreme Court last week, and the Electoral College is slated to vote on Monday.
Former President George W. Bushās deputy Chief of Staff, Karl Rove, was asked on āFox News Sundayā if he believes Trump will continue to contest the election.
āWell, I believe that he will,ā Rove said. āI wouldnāt be surprised to see tomorrow that there are maybe attempts to disrupt the voting in the six contested states. I wouldnāt be surprised to see expressions of public support for the presidentās position from Trump electors in states that he carried.ā
He continued, āI wouldnāt be surprised; on January 6, I fully expect that one senator and one representative at a minimum ā thatās whatās required ā can file a statement contesting the Electoral College results. But I donāt see that itās going to be overturned tomorrow, and I donāt see thatās going to be overturned on January 6.ā
Host Chris Wallace also asked Rove if he believes Trump is helping or hurting himself.
He said, āThe answer to that depends on whatās his goal? If his goal is to lay the predicate to come back in 2024 and run again, heās helping himself at least gain the nomination. But, I think in the long run, heās not helping himself or the country.ā
āAmerica likes comebacks, but they donāt like sore losers. And he is on the edge of looking like a sore loser and probably will look like it after January 6,ā Rove added.

WithĀ dozens of lawsuits tossed outĀ and the Electoral College scheduled to vote on December 14, Trumpās options for overturning the election appear to be narrowing.
However, he has continued to make baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud and has refused to concede the election.
Despite facingĀ pressureĀ to wind down his battle to overturn the results, Trump has vowed to āfight onā and maintained that the election was ārigged.ā
