Biden spokesperson not surprised by Supreme Court decision on Texas lawsuit
From CNN's Arlette Saenz

A spokesperson for President-elect Joe Biden's campaign said today's Supreme Court decision to reject a bid to block the ballots of millions of voters in battleground states was "no surprise."

"The Supreme Court has decisively and speedily rejected the latest of Donald Trump and his allies’ attacks on the democratic process," campaign spokesperson Mike Gwin said.
He added: "This is no surprise — dozens of judges, election officials from both parties, and Trump's own Attorney General have dismissed his baseless attempts to deny that he lost the election. President-elect Biden's clear and commanding victory will be ratified by the Electoral College on Monday, and he will be sworn in on January 20th."

Some background: The court's move to dismiss the challenge is the strongest indication yet that President Trump has no chance of overturning election results in court that even the justices whom he placed there have no interest in allowing his desperate legal bids to continue.

The lawsuit, brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a staunch Trump ally, sought to sue Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin — which all went for Biden — and invalidate their election results. And this week, with his options narrowing, Trump, accompanied by the support of several Republican attorneys general and GOP lawmakers, cranked up pressure to have the Supreme Court weigh in.
