Ted Cruz and a group of Republican senators have come together to challenge the outcome of the presidential election.
Instead of Joe Biden being approved as president on January 6, they are demanding that a commission examine the election results.
Despite the fact that the party’s majority leader urged everyone to acknowledge Biden’s victory.
Several senators from the Republican Party deny that the result of the presidential elections will be approved on January 6. Instead, they demand that an election commission be established to review the outcome of Joe Biden’s victory, Fox News reports.
During the night, Swedish time, Trump gave his support on Twitter to the senators’ proposal –
“When they see the facts, more will follow. Our country will love you for it! “, He writes and continues to emphasize that the profit was taken away through the hashtag:” # Stop Theft ”

Ted Cruz leads the dissident group in the Senate.
It is under the leadership of Republican Senator Ted Cruz that several senators supported the decision. Senators urge Congress to appoint a commission to conduct a 10-day emergency audit of the elections in states where the results are alleged to be controversial.
The Electoral Commission will be made up of five senators, five members of the House of Representatives and five justices of the Supreme Court.
Without a designated commission, senators will vote against approving the election results on Wednesday.
You want to secure a legal election
However, it is uncertain whether they will be able to involve more Republicans in the matter, as Majority Leader Mitch McConell acknowledges the victory of the former vice president and urges Senate Republicans not to challenge the election result.
Senators believe that a majority of Democrats and some Republicans will vote to certify the election result and Joe Biden as president. But they believe that an audit would contribute to an overall increase in confidence in the electoral process.
“We are not acting to counteract the democratic process, but to protect it.” We must act together to ensure that the elections are carried out legally in accordance with the Constitution, and do everything possible to restore confidence in our democracy, “they said in a statement on Saturday.
In favor of Trump
The actions of the Republican senators spell a great victory for Trump’s opposition to the election result.
Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that he won over Biden, who changed the outcome in various states and thus received more than 270 electoral votes, necessary to secure the White House.

The crowd of Republican politicians who continue to fight for Doanld Trump to win against Joe Biden is shrinking.
According to Trump, widespread fraud has led to Biden’s victory, and he has asked states with Republican governors and legislatures to lift Biden’s victory, to no avail.
Republican minority
If the Republican senators choose to challenge the result of the election, it will be judged in Congress where both houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives can vote.
Electoral votes from a state can only be denied if both houses vote to reject them, which can be difficult as there is a democratic majority in the House of Representatives and Senate Republican Leader McConell demands that the election result be approved.
But if the votes of the decisive states were rejected, the result could be that none of the candidates will run in the required 270 electoral votes, and what happens then is not very clear.
