John Rich confident that court will oveturn election
On Tuesday, Country singer John Rich bets $10k to the music journalist and Rolling Stone writer Adam Gold that Supreme Court will overturn the election results in key swing states where Joe Biden won.
Rich also said that Pres. Trump will have his second term.
Rolling Stone writer Adam Gold called Rich "Nostradumbass" on Wednesday in response to SCOTUS rejecting Pennsylvania Republicans' appeal to block the state's election certification. Gold even tweeted the Supreme Court's decision.
According to Daily Wire, Gold posted and wrote on his social media account: "Still feeling good about your SCOTUS prediction, Nostradumbass?"
Following this, Rich doubled down and said that Pres. Trump would win a second term and place a bet of $10K to Adam Gold.
Making the bet official
John Rich wanted to make the bet official. He responded to the tweet of Adam Gold and wrote "@goldadam VERY confident! Let's make our bet official."
Rich sets the terms of whoever wins over the decision of the Supreme Court on the results of the election.
"We both put 10k into an escrow account and if Biden is sworn in as POTUS, I lose my 10k, but you have to DONATE it to @FoldsOfHonor. If Trump wins, I'll donate your 10k to a charity of your choice. Deal? #PutUpOrShutUp."
The country singer John Rich cited also a charity that funds scholarships for spouses and children of fallen and disabled service members, according to Fox News.
Gold later retweeted the previous post of Rich: "And it's for a good cause #trollingforcharity."
He also responded to someone who suggested that they should increase their bet to $50,000. This sounds odd but the good thing about this is that as whoever wins is that the money will go to a charity.
Trump gained more support
On Wednesday, 17 Republican attorneys general signed onto a Texas lawsuit demanding the Supreme Court block the Electoral College votes of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. A day after, more than 100 members of the GOP also supported an amicus brief.
On Thursday, 106 lawmakers o Republican Congress members signed their names an amicus brief sent to the high court in support of Texas attorney general Ken Paxton's lawsuit.
