Do you want to protect Biden? McConnell: January 6 will be the most important vote I ever cast
At least two US media outlets cited sources on Thursday and reported that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell held a conference call with Republican colleagues in the morning and planned to press on Wednesday (30). Senator Josh Hawley, who said he wanted to question the Electoral College results, was embarrassed.
Axios quoted a source Thursday afternoon as saying McConnell had an unusual conference call with Republicans in the Senate on Thursday morning.
McConnell said he will demonstrate at the joint congressional meeting on Jan. 6 that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden (Joe Biden) won the 2020 election, and that this will be his “best cast.” Important results “.
The report said two other sources have also confirmed McConnell’s private comments.
Holly defied McConnell’s wishes on Wednesday and publicly announced that she would challenge the electoral college vote on Pennsylvania and other states at the joint meeting of Congress on January 6.
Holly told Fox News on Wednesday that Congress should at least investigate allegations of voter fraud and ensure future elections are safe. But Congress so far has not acted.
The Democrats have challenged the election results in the past, now they have changed positions, hoping that the Republicans will shut up on the election results, the leaders of the Republican Party do not want anyone to question the results.
McConnell urged Republican senators not to appear to contest the December 14 vote. Axios reported that he believes this will put Republicans in a terrible position in the 2022 general election: it will force them between the party’s most popular politician, President Trump, and the undermining of democracy. make a decision.
The report said McConnell’s speech at Thursday’s meeting may exacerbate President Trump’s dissatisfaction with him because McConnell admitted that Trump had lost the election.
The source quoted McConnell’s original words, saying, “I have been in the Senate for 36 years and have cast many key votes,” including the war and impeachment.
“In my opinion, this is just my personal opinion. (January 6) will be the most important vote in my history.”
Also, Republican senators are unhappy with Holley’s behavior because it will force them to accept the latest test of loyalty on January 6: if they are loyal to Trump.
During the conference call, McConnell asked Holly to explain what she planned to do on January 6. Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey angrily stated that he disagreed with Holly and wanted to defend the integrity of the Pennsylvania election.
However, they later found out that Holly was not online and did not participate in the morning conference call. “Politico” (Politico) first reported the news.
Holly sent emails to colleagues in the Senate Thursday afternoon explaining why she did not attend.
He wrote: “If you’ve been talking to the people in your hometown, I think you know how angry and desperate a lot of people are (about the results of this election). They are frustrated that Congress has taken almost no action.”
