Biden focuses on transition as Trump insists on election victory
The 'Special Report' All-Star Panel reacts to the Trump campaign's latest gambit to challenge voting outcome
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp certified President-elect Joe Biden's win in the state Friday but called for an audit.
President Trump's team has until Tuesday to request a recount, which would be paid for by the state.
Kemp said he’s been frustrated by problems during the process, including previously uncounted ballots.
“But because I’ve been part of the process, I’ve had to be more guarded,” he said. “I’m having to make sure I’m staying on firm legal footing for the official duties of the governor.”
