White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows reportedly held a private phone call with other aides to President Donald Trump seeking to highlight areas the administration can make a difference in before former Vice President Joe Biden takes office, Politico reported Thursday.

The revelation contradicts much of the messaging coming from the president and his election campaign, which claim Biden still has not secured the presidential election. Meadows reportedly asked each aid to come up with three policy initiatives the administration could pursue before Biden takes office in January 2021. The group came up with a list of roughly 15 goals, according to Politco.

Two of the greatest priorities are securing more strict standards for immigrants attempting to obtain H-1B visas and providing federal funds to parents and students living in public school districts that are currently shut down due to COVID-19, per Politico.

China was also reportedly discussed on the call, as Trump on Thursday signed an executive order banning U.S. citizens from making investments in firms that support the Chinese military. according to the Wall Street Journal.

News of the call, however, comes as Trump and his campaign continue to insist they haven’t lost the election, days after the Associated Press, Fox News and numerous other outlets called the election for Biden.

Trump has legal challenges pending in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Georgia has also begun a by-hand recount of the presidential race. Trump’s legal challenges have not fared well in Georgia or Nevada, however, where courts struck down the lawsuits almost immediately.

Trump and his campaign have yet to produce substantial evidence of election fraud.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
