Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and his top deputies pressed other Senate Republicans on Tuesday not to join in with any House Republicans who may object to the presidential election results when Congress meets on Jan. 6 to ratify the decision, a source familiar with the remarks said.
The conversation was first reported by the New York Times.
The report comes as McConnell faces increasing critiism from conservatives for opting to call Biden president-elect and saying the “Electoral College has spoken.” He is among several leading Republican lawmakers who, based on the outcome of Monday’s Electoral College vote, are calling Biden the election winner after weeks of silence.
The Electoral College on Monday allocated 302 electors to Biden, and just 232 to Trump, in accordance with the results of the Nov. 3 election. That appears to confirm Biden’s status as president-elect, something that requires 270 electors at minimum. But President Trump has for weeks been challenging the results of the vote, alleging massive and systemic voter fraud tied in large part to the record use of mail-in ballots during the coronavirus pandemic.
I knew that perv was dirty.
McConnell should never have been trusted. He has never been pro-Trump. All of these RINOs are as dirty as the Dems. They ALL need to go! Term limits is the only answer. At least they will leave. I see the fact that these people sit on the taxpayer dole all their lives as a huge part of the problem we’re facing today.
His Chinese wife is part of the biggest shipping fleet in the world. His net worth is in the neighborhood of 50 million. China Mitch. Honestly, most of us voters believed these crooked RINOS and they screwed us. Never again.
Tell you one damn thing Mitch, you pull that sh#t Jan. 6 and you are done, Kentucky will dump your ass for sure. I guarantee you, I’ll never vote for you again 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
After President Trump is re-inaugurated on 20 January, his first act should be to leave the Republican Party and create the American Party. Watch every rino lose their mind and every loayl American immediately make plans to change their affiliation. I personally like this idea…
