Original Caption: 27 Republicans Admit Biden Won Election, Trump Asked For List
[文/观察者网 郭涵]At fifth local time, Trump, who has lived in the White House for more than a month, appeared in public for the first time to attend the Georgia Senate election campaign. Unwilling to admit defeat, he declared on Twitter that “the fight has just begun” and called for a list of Republican “traitors.”
The Washington Post reported that day that 25 Republicans had already congratulated Biden on winning the election. Trump responded on Twitter:
“25 people, wow! I’m surprised there are so many (traitors). We just started fighting. Please send me a copy of these 25 RINO. I barely read the” Washington Post “fake news list.
Before and after this tweet was posted, Trump was busy aligning himself with the Republican Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp. He claimed that if the opponent had not obstructed the vote count, Georgia would have won “easily and quickly.” “If we win Georgia, everything will be logical.”
“Why are these two ‘Republicans” (Kampo, Georgia Secretary of State) saying no … what are they hiding? “Trump questioned. Camp replied that to restore confidence in the campaign process, he had asked for audited vote signatures three times.
At present, Trump has not hinted that he will take any action against these “anti-water” Republican lawmakers. The Washington Post also did not respond to a request to publish the list.
Since Trump released a speech he called “the most important” on the 2nd, and still accused of “fraud” in the elections without evidence, the Washington Post has conducted a survey of 249 Republican congressmen from the Senate and House of Representatives. The questions are as follows: Who do you think is the winner of the general election? Do you support Trump’s statement that he continues to declare victory and if Biden wins the electoral majority, will he recognize Biden as the “legally elected president”?
Anonymous comments on the questionnaire are continually updated.As of 5pm local time 5, there have beenTwenty-seven Republicans admitted that Biden won, two insisted that Trump won, and the remaining 220 (88%) have yet to respond.
Of these 27 people, almost half (12) are senators; of the 15 members of the House of Representatives, 6 are about to retire this month, and Biden took the 2-person constituency without any suspense.
Regarding Trump’s insistence that he “win” and “they stole the election result”, 9 people opposed and 8 supported him, 32 people said they would recognize the result the Electoral College voted for Biden, and 2 opposed. The rest have not responded.
Trump attended a rally in Georgia on the 5th. It was his first public appearance in more than a month. A screenshot of the videoComments in the article indicate that most Republicans still fear Trump’s influence and dare not express their opposition publicly. However, there are very few MPs who are willing to “support” Trump and refuse to accept Biden’s election.Only 3% of the total.
Currently, all key battlefield states have completed ticket inspection and the results have not decisively changed. The Electoral College voted on December 14 and it is not surprising that Biden wins. Trump once promised to accept the results of the vote and leave the White House, but later changed his mind.
In theory, you still have the last chance to “roll over.” “Capitol Hill” reported that Alaska Republican Representative Mo Brooks announced that he would challenge the election results by verifying the electoral college voting stage in Congress on January 6 of next year.
“Capitol Hill”: Senate Republicans Discourage Grudging Attempts to Challenge Biden’s VictoryBrooks described this year as “the worst election result in US history was stolen,” and said Trump’s field is more likely to challenge the election result in Congress than in court because the court “cannot count how many there are illegal votes. “
Currently, of the 44 voter fraud lawsuits filed by Trump’s attorneys, at least 27 have been dismissed or reversed and none of the courts found election fraud.
On January 6, members of both houses of Congress will certify the electoral college vote and formally announce the results of the general elections. During this period, members of Parliament can initiate written objections to challenge the vote of one or more states. but,At least one member of the House of Representatives and one senator must oppose stopping the certification process.
“Capitol Hill” revealed that no senator has responded to Brooks’ call. Several Republican senators declared they did not support this “hopeless attempt.”
Texas Senator John Corbin: “Nobody likes to admit defeat, but we must respect the judgment of the American people. I do not support or approve of it. I especially do not like this kind of show-making behavior.”
A group of potential contenders within the Republican Party for the 2024 elections, such as Senators Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Josh Holly, declined to respond, prevaricated, or stated that they “do not understand the procedure.”
Brooks said he hadn’t found a senator “partner” until the 3rd, admitting his approach was “largely symbolic.”
