President Donald Trump quietly invited the Republican leaders of the Michigan legislature to the White House on Friday, according to a person familiar with the matter, as he seeks to erase his defeat in the state’s Nov. 3 election.
Some of the president’s allies have said he should seek to persuade Republican legislatures in several states he’s contesting, including Michigan and Pennsylvania, to overrule voters and give him the states’ Electoral College votes instead of President-elect Joe Biden.
