The outgoing president of the United States will return to Washington earlier than planned, the channel reports.
It is three weeks before Joe Biden is inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States, but American politics is not idle until this.
On Wednesday it was announced that Senator Josh Hawley will protest the result of the November presidential election. This will force a vote in the Senate on January 6, when Congress will formally count the votes of the electorate.
Previous attempts to reverse the election results by voting in the Senate have been unsuccessful. Nor will it this time, says American expert Eirik Løkke in Civita.
– There is no chance, says Løkke to VG.
– It is completely unthinkable that this will have consequences for Biden, but there will be a discussion in Congress about the outcome in Pennsylvania. It won’t have any effect on the outcome, but it can be interesting to hear how this is debated, adds Løkke.

Goes before the new year’s party
Now CNN is reporting that President Donald Trump will cancel his Mar-a-Lago vacation to return to Washington.
He will reportedly be leaving Palm Beach before the New Year’s Eve party, although guests have already started gathering at his Florida club.
In the president’s public program for Thursday, he says that he and first lady Melania Trump at 11 a.m. (5 p.m. Norwegian time, editor’s note) travel from Florida and return to the White House.
Trump recently posted a series of accusations by undocumented immigrants on Twitter about cheating in the presidential election. He claims, among other things, that he got more votes than Joe Biden in Georgia, but that he was massive electoral fraud the.
Late Wednesday night Norwegian time, he also tweeted “6. January, see you in DC! ».

Interesting dynamics
Løkke is particularly curious about what Mike Pence, as president of the Senate, will do in a possible vote.
– He will probably approve the result and Trump will probably not like it. That dynamic will be interesting.
The day before, January 5, the two reelections in Georgia will be decided, ensuring that Republicans or Democrats gain control of the Senate beginning January 20.
The result here will give Republican senators an indication of how strong Trump is among his electorate. Right now it seems completely even in the duel between Senator David Perdue (R) and challenger Jon Ossoff (R) and between Raphael Warnock (D) and Senator Kelly Loeffler (R).
– If Republicans clearly win there, it may indicate that senators who oppose Trump will fight later, Løkke believes.

Pressure on Senators
Republican senators find themselves in a difficult position here, where the choice is between supporting the democratic process that Americans are so proud of and supporting the party leader on allegations of voter fraud.
Although Trump lost the presidential election, he received 74 million votes and could affect his chances of re-election.
– This will be very difficult for some Republican senators in pro-Trump districts, says Eirik Løkke.
