'We need his voters' in Georgia: Why Republicans embrace Trump's last stand
There are two reasons why most Senate Republicans refuse to acknowledge Joe Biden as president-elect: Georgia and Georgia.
Simply put, the party needs President Donald Trump’s help to clinch two run-off elections in Georgia on Jan. 5 that will determine the fate of the Senate GOP’s majority. And accepting the presidential results ahead of Trump, a politician driven by loyalty, could put Republicans at odds with the president and his core supporters amid the must-win elections down South.
On Tuesday, most GOP senators continued to support Trump’s legal fights against his electoral losses, despite no evidence of the widespread voting malfeasance that Trump claims has swung tens of thousands of votes to Biden in multiple states. That’s because when the presidential election is finally certified, Republicans hope that Trump will put on his red jersey this winter and help deliver his conservative base for Sens. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.).
“We need his voters. And he has a tremendous following out there,” said Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.). “Right now, he’s trying to get through the final stages of his election and determine the outcome there. But when that’s all said and done, however it comes out, we want him helping in Georgia.”

He didn't carry the state. I don't know how much help he is going to be.
