(AP) – Joe Biden’s meeting Thursday with a group of Democratic and Republican governors is his latest attempt to fight through President Donald Trump’s unprecedented attempt to block the president-elect’s transition to power.
Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris plan a virtual session in the afternoon with the National Governors Association’s leadership team, which includes five Republicans and four Democrats. All the Democrats and a majority of the Republicans involved have acknowledged Biden as the winner of the White House election.
Trump has come out with a new round of false claims of voter fraud in key states, even as courts continue to reject his challenges.
