Top Republicans in Washington are reluctant to call Joe Biden the president-elect publicly, fearing a rebellion by grassroots conservatives loyal to President Trump that would sink the partys Senate majority, the Washington Examiner reports.
Republican insiders privately concede Biden ousted Trump and dismiss suggestions voter fraud, ballot errors, or other issues would be uncovered sufficient to alter the election. But with the president claiming otherwise and two Georgia runoff elections set for January that will decide the Senate majority, plus midterm elections in 2022, most congressional Republicans are backing Trump. The move is purely transactional.

(11,004 posts)McConnell says Trump has the right to pursue legal channels. He doesn't say if those legal channels have any merit.
Perdue and Loeffler call on the Georgia SoS to step down. And then he tells them to worry about their own races.
Barr says that he will investigate claims of fraud IF they're significant and changed the outcome. He didn't say those claims exist.
People are reading more into these statements than is there.

(17,000 posts)Biden won Georgia which is where the Senate runoffs are happening. I think they would have a better chance of winning the runoff if they werent acting like children having a temper tantrum.
