During his speech at a Georgia senate campaign rally, President Donald Trump issued a not-so-veiled threat to his own vice president, implicitly encouraging Mike Pence to “come through for us” and somehow overturn the counting of the Electoral College vote in Congress on January 6th.
In a stilted and rambling speech, Trump suddenly went off-script and veered away from attacking the Democratic candidates running against GOP incumbent Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. His tangent took him back to his own fruitless fight to remain in office and the increasingly desperate gambit of Pence throwing out the certified votes in swing states won by Biden and anoint Trump the victor, in what would amount to an administrative coup.
