Senior Republicans recognised Joe Biden as the president-elect of the United States on Tuesday as President Donald Trump continued to deny the outcome of the election.

In a significant break with the president, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell congratulated Mr Biden and vice-president-elect Kamala Harris on their victory, a day after the electoral college confirmed the election result.

“As of this morning our country has officially a president-elect and a vice-president-elect,” Mr McConnell said on the Senate floor. “Many of us hoped that the presidential election would yield a different result, but our system of government has processes to determine who will be sworn in on January 20th. The electoral college has spoken. Today I want to congratulate president-elect Joe Biden.”

Mr McConnell also congratulated Ms Harris, a colleague in the Senate. “Beyond our differences, Americans can take pride that our nation has a female vice president-elect for the very first time,” he said.

My take is that regardless of the voter action, Loeffler will be declared winner, and so will whoever is opposing Perdue.

Vote is a sham. It’s used to buttress the fiction that the government is “of the people,” and operates with consent of the governed.

If you truly think that the Senate race in Joja matters. Think again. I hate to be super critical but we’re on our own.

If I lived in “Joja” I would still crawl over broken glass to vote against the disgusting radical-Marxist Democrat pukes. It would matter to my conscience if nothing else.

That’s like congratulating an armed robber for perpetrating a successful heist.
