Coincidentally, this news conference will air at about the same time that Georgia announces the results of its recount:

That recount will confirm that Joe Biden won the state:

As for the “path to victory,” the Washington Post reported that Rudy Giuliani is telling people the plan is “to pressure GOP lawmakers & officials across the political map to stall the vote certification in an effort to have Republican lawmakers pick electors & disrupt the electoral college”:

Hopefully, this news conference is better than the last one. . .
Will it be at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, next to an adult bookstore and across the street from a crematorium? https://t.co/3r7Ye6DcXh
