BREAKING: Dane County #WI recount results are in- a net gain of 45 votes for Donald Trump, which will be nowhere near what he needs to close the 20,000 vote lead Joe Biden has in the state. Dane Co could certify as soon as today and WI could follow soon after.

President-elect Biden hopes the reputation he has as a deal maker will help him push an agenda in Congress. But skepticism about that outcome is high.“John, are you saying air strikes would not help the people in Srebrenica right now?

"As we have said, the recount only served to reaffirm Joe Biden’s victory in Wisconsin," Biden official Danielle Melfi told the Associated Press.

With a margin in the tens of thousands, there were very few people who expected a recount to shift the tide in Trump's favor. Of the 31 statewide recounts since 2000, only three changed the outcome of an election, and each of those races had margins fewer than 300 votes.

Wisconsin counties have until Tuesday to certify their results, according to Channel 3000.

The recount loss follows a hand recount in Georgia that confirmed Biden's win in the state by more than 12,000 votes. The Trump campaign requested a second recount of the roughly 5 million votes cast in Georgia, which is still underway. Counties have until Dec. 2 to conclude the second recount, according to AP.

"It is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action by a sitting American President," Romney said of Trump's contacts with local officials."Having failed to make even a plausible case of widespread fraud or conspiracy before any court of law, the President has now resorted to overt pressure on state and local officials to subvert the will of the people and overturn the election," said Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, in a tweet.

Wisconsin recount confirms Biden 's election win over Trump. Trump says he's 'ashamed' to have endorsed Georgia's governor. Trump requested recounts in Milwaukee and Dane counties — which are largely Democratic — in hopes of clawing back a victory in the state.

On Twitter, Trump argued the Wisconsin recount was "not about finding mistakes in the count." Instead, he claimed it was about identifying people who voted illegally.

"The Wisconsin recount is not about finding mistakes in the count, it is about finding people who have voted illegally," he tweeted on Saturday. "That case will be brought after the recount is over, on Monday or Tuesday. We have found many illegal votes. Stay tuned!"
