In an interview Sunday afternoon with CNN's Ana Cabrera, investigative journalist and author Carl Bernstein reported that there are currently "6, 8, 10 Republicans in the Senate who are talking with each other about how to restrain what they regard as an out-of-control, almost madman... who is determined to do anything to hold on to office regardless of its legality."

Bernstein did not mention the names of the senators, but he did add that there was a power play being created behind-the-scenes if President Donald J. Trump used "provocative acts to undermine the Constitution."

Trump has stated repeatedly that he will not concede if the election results reveal a Joe Biden victory.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows waved the white flag on Sunday morning, admitting the administration has all but given up on trying to "contain" the coronavirus pandemic, saying they are directing their efforts to "vaccines and therapeutics."

With "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper pointing cases of COVID-19 are on the rise, Meadows attempted to attack CNN over their coverage of the pandemic, to which Tapper replied, "It's coming from all sorts of places because the pandemic is out of control.”

“So here’s what we have to do,” Meadows attempted. “We're not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation”
