Despite giving his strongest hints yet that he is coming to accept his loss of the White House to challenger Joe Biden, Donald Trumps continuing reluctance to leave office and baseless claims about electoral fraud are increasingly worrying his own party.
In particular, Republicans are concerned that the chaos caused by Trumps stance and his false comments on the conduct of the election in the key swing state of Georgia, which Biden won for the Democrats, could hinder his partys efforts to retain control of the Senate.
Control of the key upper chamber of the US Congress hangs in the balance as runoff races for the states two Senate seats play out over the remainder of 2020, with an election scheduled in early January. If Democrats win those seats, they grab the Senate while if Republicans emerge victorious, they keep control and can seriously hinder Bidens agenda, including his ability to freely pick his cabinet.
Trump has attacked the election system in Georgia, even though it is headed by Republicans, after Biden flipped the southern state to the Democrats for the first time since 1992.

(504 posts)With all the false claims, law suits, and recounts the states have to pay for, I hope these swing states remember where the GOP stood in putting them through this.
They're not called swing states for nothing.
