How will the Republicans deal with Donald Trump once he’s left office? The Georgia run-off elections could give us a clue

You wouldn’t have known Donald Trump lost the US election looking at this week’s rally.

He lost the popular vote by more than 7 million. He came up 38 votes short of the 270 needed to win the electoral college.

But as the President prepared to take the stage at a rally in northern Georgia, the song We Are The Champions blasted through the loudspeakers.

The crowd chanted “fight for Trump” and “stop the steal”.

And less than a minute after taking the podium, Mr Trump turned what was supposed to be a “get out the vote” speech into a criticism of the US election system.
