Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said not to object to the election results, according to Politico.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito said, “There wasn’t any pushback to it.”
“There’s wasn’t anyone saying: oh wait a minute. That didn’t occur.”
Mcconnell acknowledged for the first time that Biden will be the next president.
Mo Brooks said, “I find it unfathomable that anyone would acquiesce to election theft and voter fraud because they lack the courage to take a difficult vote on the House or Senate floor.”
“Last time I checked, that’s why we were elected to Congress.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said, “The president is right to go to the courts, have his legal challenges heard.”
“And he said he still has more opportunity to do that, so we’ll wade through and see what happens.”
“It is over,” Biden said.
From Politico:
On Friday, the Supreme Court rejected a longshot bid by Texas and other Republican-led states to overturn the election results. McCarthy had joined that effort.
Trump has yet to show any sign that he will concede. Instead, the president on Tuesday continued to reiterate false claims of voter fraud on Twitter.
The president is also publicly and privately leaning on his Hill allies to launch a last-ditch effort to reverse the election in Congress. He has praised Brooks on Twitter and retweeted a Breitbart News article Tuesday in which Brooks vows to continue fighting the Electoral College results in Congress.
