Republicans begin to treat Biden like a president-elect amid Trump's refusal to concede

WASHINGTON – Prominent and powerful Republicans are signaling that Joe Biden should be treated as the next president even as they continue to support President Donald Trump's refusal to concede as he mounts legal challenges in several states.

Without declaring him the winner, several GOP senators, including seven-term senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, now say they see no issue with Biden receiving the same daily intelligence briefings Trump is getting.

The briefings are provided to presidents and incoming president-elects so they can make decisions about ongoing national security issues as soon as they take office.

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., went further Wednesday, saying he'll try to force Trump administration officials to share the information with the former vice president if they continue to deny him.
