The Orange Grinch

Arriving at his golf club Thursday afternoon, Trump received a warm welcome from members and vowed to continue fighting to overturn the election, a person familiar with the matter said.

"He's very resolute in continuing to want to fight the Electoral College," this person said. "And he still thinks it's not over."

Later, he spent much of Christmas Eve tweeting grievances, including one aimed at Senate Republicans, vowing that he will "NEVER FORGET!" what he sees as their abandonment.

Sources say Trump in recent days has [...] been "confused" as to why Pence can't overturn the results of the election on January 6.

Traditionally, the vice president presides over the electoral vote certification, though it's not a requirement.

Pence and White House aides have tried to explain to [Trump] that his role is more of a formality and he cannot unilaterally reject the Electoral College votes.

Earlier this week, Pence joined a meeting between Trump and a sizable group of House conservatives where the long-shot effort to overturn the election results in January was discussed.

The discussion focused on Trump's baseless claims and conspiracies that the election was stolen from him, participants said, and lawmakers emerged confident that there were would be a contingent of House and Senate Republicans who would join the effort and prompt a marathon debate on the floor on January 6 that would spill into January 7.

The effort is doomed to fail but would create a spectacle that Senate GOP leaders want to avoid. And if a House member and a senator object to six states' results, it would lead to at least 12 hours of debate, in addition to the time for casting votes on each of the motions, potentially prolonging the fight until the next day.

Merry Christmas, folks.
