about these tactics. It should be obvious to him that Hillary is advocating that Biden not concede until all ballot controversies are satisfied and all votes counted—including mail-in ballots that the trump campaign are most likely going to contest.

We don't want a repeat of the Gore concession in 2000 when he actually won and should've stuck it out until the ballot controversies were settled.

I'm disappointed and surprised at Durbin. He should know better.
