After losing the presidential election, the Trump administration has threatened to sue, and argued that maybe the Supreme Court should decide the election.  Why have the lawsuits failed to gain traction so far? 

President-elect Joe Biden has begun his transition effort, naming a Yale professor as one of the leaders of his coronavirus task force. 

And new leaders are asserting themselves at the General Assembly.

Guests:

Renny Fulco -- Director of Public Policy and Law at Trinity College

Mark Pazniokas -- Capitol Bureau Chief for the Connecticut Mirror (@CTMirrorPaz)

Colin McEnroe -- Host of The Colin McEnroe show, and a columnist at Hearst Connecticut. (@ColinMcEnroe)
