Next Wednesday, Congress will meet to formally approve the results of the elections in the United States.
Joe Biden won with 306 delegates to Donald Trump’s 232, but Congress must meet to formally certify approval of the election by the Electoral College.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell drew attention when he congratulated Biden on the electoral victory after the Electoral College voted Biden the 45th president of the United States.
Crazy at the wrong time
He had previously been reluctant to recognize Biden as the winner of the presidential election. This despite the fact that several close allies of Trump have already turned their backs on him.
After the congratulations, McConnell was skinned by his people, but that has not stopped him from warning others that they should not continue to challenge the electoral result as Trump does.
Will challenge Biden
Now, however, several Republican senators announce that they will challenge Joe Biden’s victory next Wednesday.
Informa Politico.
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley was the first to launch the initiative, and now eleven other senators are announcing that they are following suit.
The eleven senators are led by Texas Senator Ted Cruz, and in a statement the group writes that “voter fraud has posed an ongoing challenge to the US elections, although its breadth and scope has been debated.”
“It surpasses everything in our life”
Killed after Trump’s party
Senators say they will vote against the electoral delegates of some states. They also write that they will demand the establishment of a special commission that will carry out a ten-day “urgent review” of the election results in what they call “contested states.”
They do not specify which states apply.
The group also states in the statement that “accusations of cheating and irregularities in the 2020 elections exceed everything in our lives.”
The announcement is signed by seven sitting senators and four incoming senators.
– we are not naive
– The worst president of all time
However, according to Reuters, senators admit that they understand that they probably will not be able to change the outcome of the election.
– We are not naive. We fully expect that most, if not all Democrats, and perhaps more than a few Republicans, will vote differently, write.
Praised by Trump
The announcement is acclaimed by the president himself. On Sunday night, Donald Trump retweeted several messages on Twitter indicating that senators will challenge Biden’s victory.
– And after they see the facts, many more will come … Our country will love them for that! Trump writes on Twitter.
However, other Republicans have said they will vote to confirm the election result. One of them is Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski.
– You must stop the campaign of chaos
– The courts and state legislators have respected their duty to face the legal charges and have found nothing that could justify a reversal of the result. I ask my colleagues from both parties to recognize him, he said according to Politico.
As mentioned, the Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, is also one of those who has warned others not to question the outcome of the election.
– Unfounded accusations
Longing for one’s own: – Death wish
An election campaign spokesman for incoming President Joe Biden, Michael Gwin, believes a possible bid by senators will change nothing.
“This move will not change the fact that President-elect Biden will be sworn in on January 20, and these baseless allegations have already been investigated and rejected by Trump’s own attorney, dozens of courts, and election officials from both parties,” he told Reuters.
Split the party
Since Election Day on November 3, President Donald Trump has refused to concede defeat, claiming that there has been voter fraud during the US elections.
Trump’s refusal to acknowledge the outcome has divided the Republican Party, and several close allies have already turned their backs on Trump.
Party Buddy: – Wild attacks of rage and conspiracy theories.
Trump has not presented any evidence of allegations of voter fraud during the US elections. But the president and his lawyers have suffered repeated defeats in court.
Despite a possible attempt by senators, Joe Biden will in all likelihood be installed as the next president of the United States on January 20.
