It appears as if it was the latest attempt by Republicans in the Senate to protest Joe Biden’s victory in the US presidential election that took place in early November.
Several Republicans, led by Senator Ted Cruz, have confirmed that they intend to vote to reject election results in swing states where outgoing President Donald Trump has spoken of fraud. Members of Congress called for the immediate formation of an electoral commission, which exercises full authority to investigate possible electoral fraud in undecided states.
This anticipated measure by members of Congress threatens to divide the Republican Party and represents a challenge for other Republican leaders in the Senate who seek to avoid a prolonged debate on the results of the elections in Congress, considering that the ratification process by the House of the election results is largely a “matter of protocol.”
The position of these members also intersects with Trump’s continued refusal to admit defeat in the election.
Trump has always urged Republicans to support him in his fight, especially after all his judicial efforts failed to back up his claims of fraud in the presidential election. The refusal to acknowledge Biden’s victory is a symbolic step that will not be fruitful and will only delay the confirmation of Biden’s victory, without preventing him from taking office.
The long-awaited session in Congress will be held on Wednesday, with the aim of confirming that the Electoral College, which took place last December 14, approved Biden winning with 306 of the votes of senior voters, compared to 232 votes of Trump.
