The host dedicated part of his Daily Show on Monday to the electoral college’s affirmation of Joe Biden’s victory. Each state’s electors met on Monday to assign Electoral College votes, with a final tally of 306 for Biden and 232 for Donald Trump. This reflects the results that were called on 7 November.
However, Trump and his campaign, including Miller, have continued to insist that the results aren’t final. Those claims are baseless and based on false claims of election fraud. Legal efforts on the Trump campaign’s part have been futile and resulted in a rebuke by the Supreme Court.
“There is nothing more that Donald Trump can do. Or that’s what you might think,” Noah said on Monday. “Because Donald Trump did not become a successful businessman by accepting that he was a failed businessman, and he’s not about to accept that he lost the Electoral College either.”
He then played a clip of Miller claiming in a Fox News interview that the Trump campaign has “more than enough time” left to overturn the election results.
“Stephen Miller’s just going to reject reality, the same way his hair just rejected his head?” Noah mused.
He added: “I understand the desperation. I really do. I mean, what is Stephen Miller going to do once Trump is out of office? Collect tolls under his old bridge?”
Biden’s inauguration will take place on 20 January 2021.
