A bevy of Senate Republicans, after refusing for weeks to acknowledge Joe Biden's victory in the presidential race, still wouldn't do so Monday evening even after the Electoral College made the win official.
"I'm not going to comment on that," said Sen. Jim Inhofe, a veteran Republican from Oklahoma.
"I don't have anything for you on that," said Sen. John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican.
Tennessee's GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn added: "We're going to be watching it, thanks."
The comments were the latest sign of how President Donald Trump, even in defeat, holds enormous sway over his party,
to the point where many refuse to publicly accept electoral reality or
raise any concerns as the President continues to undermine the integrity
of US democracy by lying that the election was rigged and stolen from
him.
Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin
McCarthy both have yet to acknowledge Biden's victory -- and McConnell
ignored questions about the topic in the Senate on Monday. Others also
sidestepped the question.
