In addition to the lawsuit, President Trump also zealously campaigned behind the scenes to win more allies in his attempt to reverse the results of his election.

It all started with a phone call.

In mid-November, President Donald Trump called Monica Palmer, Republican, the chairman of Wayne County's vote counting committee, who announced that Democratic candidate Joe Biden had won the state's most populous county.

24 hours later, Palmer announced that she wanted to "cancel" the Wayne County election results.

"The Wayne County election has serious flaws and the process is under investigation," she wrote in her statement to the court.

Palmer's decision to reverse was made too late.

Over the next month, he launched an extensive campaign to lobby Republican leaders across the country to refuse to recognize the election results with a victory in Biden's favor.

In the lawsuits, Trump repeatedly raised allegations of election fraud, asserting that his victory was "stolen".

In total, Trump spoke to at least 31 Republicans, including most local and state officials from the four key battlefield states he lost: Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.

Contacts include at least 12 calls to 11 individuals and at least 4 White House meetings with 20 Republican state MPs, party leaders and attorney general, whom the US President hopes

Trump also spoke on the phone with some Republican senators and at least three senators within the party about an attempt to reverse his election results.

Trump's first goal is to prevent the local level from certifying election results.

On November 17, the Wayne County vote-counting committee met to confirm the election results.

However, after a while of discussion, the two agreed to confirm the results on the condition that an examination had to be done in order to clarify any doubts.

The decision came just hours after President Trump phoned both Palmer and Hartmann.

Palmer said that President Trump was not pressuring her on the call.

"Hard to imagine any other worse and more undemocratic action from a sitting US president," said Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney at the time.

A Trump campaign official said aides had advised him not to contact Palmer and Harmann, but the US President ignored it.

"I've never seen anything like Trump's effort when he tried to get electoral regulators or governors to call their own elections a fraud, urge votes or take action.

On November 20, after failing to change the outcome of local elections in Michigan, Trump went a step further by inviting at least six of Michigan's most influential Republicans.

MPs attending the meeting said they had discussed financial aid measures for states ravaged by Covid-19 but admitted that they also discussed the election results in Michigan, where Biden won.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany insisted the meeting was only routine and it was "not a campaign event".

Trump wants Michigan congressmen to break the conventional process that states use to appoint electors to confirm election results.

Traditionally, each state's electoral votes have been awarded to the winner of that state's popular election.

But the US President's efforts could not influence Michigan lawmakers.

On November 23, Michgan confirmed the results.

Two days later, Trump changed his tactics again.

Failure in Michigan, Trump is now focused on Pennsylvania, another key state in which Biden turned the tables in the election.

However, a few hours before his departure, Trump abruptly canceled his schedule.

Even so, Trump cannot stay away completely.

After the meeting, Trump asked the Pennsylvania MPs to meet him directly in the White House.

Pennsylvania, where Trump lost by 80,000 votes, has a Democratic governor but the legislature is controlled by Republicans.

State Senate leader Jake Corman and State House Speaker Bryan Cutler both rejected the idea.

Ned Foley, an expert on election law at Ohio State University's School of Law, argued that Trump essentially tried to turn the 2020 election into 1876, the most controversial election in American history.

At that time, the three states of Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina all appointed unified electoral groups, forcing Congress to form a committee to help decide who the president is.

On November 30, President Trump continued to rage when he witnessed Republican Governor Doug Ducey confirm the election results.

Trump's campaign aides and attorneys spent weeks pressing Ducey to repeat the president's fraud allegations, while also expressing skepticism about the election results in the state due to

So, when Ducey appeared at a press conference to sign Biden's winning documents in Arizona, this was a "spilling drop" for President Trump.

He began posting angry tweets about Ducey.

Ducey did not pick up.

Four days later, Trump met with Arizona Republican President Kelli Ward at the White House, but it was too late.

Next, the US President turned his attention to Georgia.

Biden won in Georgia with 12,000 separate votes, for the first time in nearly three decades garnering support from a state with a tradition of Republican leanings, which angered Trump.

Since election day, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, a Republican, has positioned himself away from allegations of election fraud from the President.

On December 5, when preparing to fly to Georgia to run a campaign for Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in the race to win two state Senate seats, Trump hooked up with Kemp.

He urged Governor Kemp to hold a special session of the Georgia legislature to designate the electors Trump wants to change the final outcome.

After the call, Kemp once again explained that he had no authority to request a verification check as President Trump wanted.

That night, at the campaign, Trump could not hide his discontent.

"Your governor cannot give up so easily if he knows what the hell is going on," Trump told the crowd.

Still, Trump has not given up in Georgia.

Car, a Republican, disagrees with the petition filed by Trump, filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, asking the US Supreme Court to stop some battlefield states, including Georgia, from proceeding.

Carr regularly criticized the lawsuit, saying it was "constitutionally wrong, morally and practically wrong".

On December 8, Trump phoned Carr, asking him to change his stance.

However, this effort continues to be ineffective.

When the Texas lawsuit showed signs of failure, Trump sought help from senators in the House of Representatives.

On December 9, Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson emailed all 196 of his Republican colleagues, asking them to sign a petition by the unrelated party that expressed support for the petition.

Johnson's actions were immediately noticed by Trump.

Then he got to work, called several other Republicans to ask for their support and signed the petition proposed by Johnson, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Finally, 126 members of the National Assembly signed.

On December 10, Trump held a luncheon at the White House, inviting 12 Republican attorneys general.

10 of the 12 attorney general's on the guest list signed the Texas lawsuit.

But their support cannot get President Trump what he wants.

On December 14, two days after the Texas lawsuit was dismissed, the Electoral College voted in all 50 states across the country, voting for Joe Biden to become the 46th president of the United States, officially making the war.

This resulted in some loyal Trump Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, eventually breaking the silence, admitting Biden as president-elect.

But Trump has not shown he will give up the pressure campaign.

On December 20, Trump told New York's WABC radio station that he had personally called to encourage Senator Tuberville the night before.

However, this effort cannot change the outcome in the end.
