To be fair, I'm not sure even a majority of Republican voters believe there has been fraud.

I don't doubt that many of his hard core supporters believe his claims, but they don't sum anything close to 70 million.

Biden to give a speech tonight.

I wonder how he handles doing so when I think it's clear Trump isn't going to concede?

Ideally, he should play that down and do the usual magnanimous complimenting on your opponent when you win an election. Boosting Trump's ego might also ease him into moving on from this (likely) defeat.

Who is saying he has won ?

Your plan just might enrage trump, congratulating him on losing might not be the best idea.

Depends if the networks project him as doing so or not. We are sort of expecting it I think.

Why would you think they care? Indeed why should you care? Trump isn't polite to them.

Thing is, it is convention to address him as president for the rest of his life in official settings. What are the odds they will do it.

Pretty high, I would imagine - Fox News call Obama ”President Obama" (some of the "opinion" shows on Fox, not so much...).

Talking of Fox news.

Quote:
Fox News, the cable network that has been one of President Trump's most important supporters, told anchors and other staffers not to call Joe Biden the "President-elect" when the network calls the race, according to two memos obtained by CNN Business.
The memos said that Fox should "stay away" from using the description, and instead say something like Biden has "enough electoral votes to win the presidency."

That's pretty scary and Fox News have been good at pushing back until now. Bit weird tbh.
