Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday that the Trump campaign is prepared to lose election-related cases in a bid to push them to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Frankly this is a case that we would like to get to the Supreme Court,” he said in an interview with Fox Business, referring to a Trump campaign case to get around 700,000 mail-in ballots thrown out in Pennsylvania. “So we’re prepared in some of these cases to lose and to appeal and to get it to the Supreme Court.”
“You might remember in Bush v. Gore, the Bush campaign lost in the state of Florida because it was a Democratic court. You’re not going to win every one of these … but in some cases you win, some cases you lose,” Giuliani told Fox Business, while noting that even though the judges in some cases were appointed by Democratic presidents, he doesn’t view them as necessarily unfair.
A case in Pennsylvania, he said, will be President Donald Trump’s “first established vehicle on our way to the Supreme Court.” Giuliani added there is another case in Michigan that is “drafted and ready to go” to the Supreme Court, while saying that lawsuits in other states could also be heard in the nation’s highest court.
