The orange buffoon and soar loser set a dangerous precedence by not conceding and not excepting, he lost a fare and free election?!!
A growing number of Republican candidates this cycle are refusing to concede elections they indisputably lost, promoting conspiracy theories about the results and engaging in local battles over certification.
Why it matters: The undercurrent of election denialism pervading the 2022 midterms is bubbling to the surface as more Trump-inspired candidates are tested in primaries.
The big picture: The trend stretches across and beyond states at the heart of former President Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
What's happening: In Michigan, Ryan Kelley, a gubernatorial candidate who was arrested by the FBI in June in connection with the Capitol riot, is refusing to concede and called his fourth-place finish in the GOP primary a "predetermined outcome."
