McConnell to GOP senators: Don't object to election results

McConnell told his caucus that objecting to the results would force Republicans to take a “terrible vote” because they would need to vote it down and appear against President Donald Trump. Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) also echoed McConnell’s remarks.

McConnell’s warning comes one day after the Electoral College officially voted for Joe Biden as the president-elect. The Kentucky Republican acknowledged for the first time that Biden will be the next president in his floor remarks Tuesday.

Some House Republicans, led by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), are still planning to challenge the election results on January 6, the date Congress will officially certify them. If a Republican senator joins the effort, however, it will force both chambers to take a vote on the election. But they have yet to get official buy-in from any GOP senators.

Trump has yet to show any sign that he will concede. Instead, the president on Tuesday continued to reiterate false claims of voter fraud on Twitter.

Ofcourse he hasn’t.

That’s a complete waste of time.

Who cares? And why keep bringing this up? He will be gone by 1/20 when the results are certified. I’d bet $1000 on it.

It’s performance politics.

Probably because it’s poor sportsmanship, and it gives his hardcore supporters a false hope.
