Senate GOP leaders sounding like Biden allies on Electoral College challenge

 

No wonder Tillis and Burr are so quiet about Wednesday’s action:

 

[…]More than two dozen House Republicans have said they will try to challenge results, and a dozen GOP senators will join them — even though Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has urged senators to stay away from this. […]

Senate Republican leaders have not been able to keep their party unified through this process, but they expect to have the votes to confirm Biden’s win, despite as many as a dozen Republican defections.
