Fact check me on this but I believe Trump has an endgame which is SCOTUS but he did mention in one of his meetings a few weeks back that it could go to the supreme court but that it's possible it may not even NEED to go to the SCOTUS.
Correct. But SCOTUS is a double edged sword. They will not take any case on this election unless their decision would be dispositive of the result. Ie trump needs to put enough states in play either through recounts, audits lawsuits or legislatures refusing to certify such that the SCOTUS decision determines the election outcome.
They will not take the case if his relief is “moot,” that is, if he wins it he still would not become President because there are not enough electoral votes in question
Thus, the strategy at present is to win enough lawsuits, get enough legislatures to refuse to certify, or straight up toss enough votes out that the case, when presented to SCOTUS would decide the election. To do this, Trump needs to remove enough Biden votes that he is below 270, and put enough states in play such that Trump will have 270 if he wins before SCOTUS. Depending on whose count we listen to, Trump has already accomplished the former. He is in process of achieving the latter
SCOTUS is in fact, a parallel avenue to the emergency election clause of the constitution. He can win by SCOTUS, or by state legislatures nominating “faithless objectors” as their electoral college representatives, thereby triggering a vote in the House for President and a Vote in Senate for VP.

but rulings from WI, MI, PA, and GA would be enough to overturn? i think im confused
