Arizona Governor Ducey Appears to Ignore Call from Trump or Pence While Certifying Election Results Republican Arizona Governor Doug Ducey may have ignored a phone call from President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence while certifying President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the state on Monday. Ducey indicated in July that his cell phone is set to play "Hail to the Chief" when receiving a call from Trump or Pence. In a video of Ducey signing documents cementing Biden's win on Monday, the song can be faintly heard before the governor is shown pulling a phone out of his coat pocket, putting it on his desk and slightly shaking his head. "I've got a relationship with the president and when there's a need in Arizona, I talk to him directly," Ducey said during a July 9 press conference. "We've had so much outreach personally from both the president and the vice president that I had to change the ringtone on my phone. And it rings 'Hail to the Chief,' because I didn't want to miss another phone call directly from the White House to help the state of Arizona." Biden won Arizona by 10,457 votes, becoming the first Democrat to win the state since former President Bill Clinton in 1996. Ducey, who first acknowledged that Biden won the state last week, joined with other top officials to sign off on the certification on Monday, while remarking that the state conducts elections "well" and that its "system is strong."
It is what it is. I wonder when Trump and his supporters are going to stop trying to disenfranchise voters. Yet, I suspect they'll continue all the way to the next Presidential elections in 2024. wrbtrader
Republicans certifying election results to Trump. Maybe they're starting to remember that he's that guy that went after them when he was a reformist in the reform party. The real Donald Trump as a reform party member He disparaged the field of Republican contenders as “a bunch of stiffs”. He criticized politicians who make too much of their humble origins as “just losers”, while wealthy establishment candidates were dismissed as members of a “lucky sperm club”... Asked about his image as a womanizer, he offered that if that was an impediment to his candidacy, “I’m not going to bother.” Trump, who had resigned his membership of the Republican party, told reporters he believed the GOP has become “just too crazy right”. Nevertheless, key elements of the extreme Trump familiar to the US in 2017 were not in evidence back then. Back then, he followed the Reform party view that abortion rights should be kept out of politics. In this era before 9/11, when the country was politically obsessed with Monica Lewinsky and pro-wrestler Jesse Ventura, Trump said nothing about Muslim immigration, torture or energy dependence. Through his Reform party flirtation, Trump sought the counsel of the New York divorce attorney Raoul Felder. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/05/donald-trump-reform-party-2000-president ------- Karma's a Bitch. wrbtrader
