I think there ought to be a delegation of Republicans like Mitch McConnell who ought to be talking to the President.
Sadly, you know, I think for a variety of reasons he should not. I just, I don't think either Trump or Biden should be running.
He is a leader there's no question about that. But I think he's a bad leader. I think he's leaving his people into, he's leading the country, especially into a very bad place.
He is going to hand Joe Biden a country more divided than it needs to be by trying to de-legitimate an election that was clearly won by Joe Biden.
