Karl Rove says Trump is on the verge of looking like a sore loser

On Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace, Republican strategist Karl Rove said that President Trump’s refusal to accept that President-elect Joe Biden won the November 3 election is not helping the country or himself. Despite losing dozens of legal battles in an attempt to overturn the results of the election, including in courts with Trump-appointed judges, Trump continues to claim he actually won the election. On Saturday, in an interview with Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade, Trump claimed to have handily won in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, all states that he lost.
“If his goal is to lay the predicate to come back in 2024 and run again, he’s helping himself at least gain the nomination. But I think in the long run he’s not helping himself or the country,” Rove said. “America likes comebacks, but they don’t like sore losers and he is on the edge of looking like a sore loser, and probably will look like it after January 6th.”

But I don't see that it's gonna be overturned tomorrow. And I don't see that it's gonna be overturned on January 6.
