Mitch McConnell signals that he will not back President Trump in his Republican-led Senate.
Despite ongoing discussion in Capitol Hill about the potential of several states being tossed out, leading to a contingent election, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has publicly shied away from President Donald Trump’s fight for election integrity and has instead appeared to align himself with Joe Biden.
In a video on the Senate floor, McConnell said “Americans voted in this year’s general election. Legal and Constitutional processes have continued to play out since then.”
“As of this morning, our country has officially a president-elect, and a vice-president elect,” said McConnell.
Glaringly, McConnell did not mention any of the ongoing election contests or lawsuits, or the several states that sent an alternate slate of Trump presidential electors to the Electoral College.
Instead, McConnell praised the “processes” in the American “system of government” for working correctly, even as widespread outrage over Dominion Voting Systems voting machines continues and the Arizona Senate has announced subpoenas for Dominion Voting Systems machines.
“Our system of government has processes to determine who will be sworn in on January 20, the Electoral College has spoken.” McConnell added, “So today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden.”
McConnell also congratulated Kamala Harris, who he noted would be the first female vice president.
If Pence and the McConnell-led Senate were disqualify enough votes for both candidates to fall below 270, the presidential election would fall into a contingent election, wherein the U.S. House would elect the next president based on a quorum of states. In other words, despite some states sending several Representatives to the U.S. House, each state would have one vote for the purposes of electing the next President.

Trump is a true “outsider”. All the insiders either hate him or are afraid of his rallies. If Biden can get rid of Trump byhook or CROOK, the insiders are all happy.
mitch might have used the fraud machine himself.
He has also given a signal that stealing the Senate seats in Georgia is ok with him. He’ll no longer be the Senate Majority leader.
Absolutely. No money to McConnell’s Stiffs, or McCarthy’s either. If individual congressman & senators who supported Trump can find a way to solicit as individuals, I’ll help. But not a nickle to the GOP.
It takes both a Congressman and a Senator to lodge a challenge against any state's electors, and a majority vote in the House and Senate to approve that challenge. It looks like getting a senator to sign on may be hard, and getting a majority of senators to vote for the challenge darned near impossible.
Lin Wood is looking more and more correct by the day...
GOP is no more. Get ready for the next party.
* Potus pulls this out.
* The GA Senate race goes to a 50/50 Senate, Mitch is no longer SML
* VP Pence breaks the ties.
Mitch is an even bigger gelding than he is now.
I'd get fat eating the popcorn from watching him squirm...

This is show biz. He knows he doesn’t have a choice and it puts the left back to sleep.
He knows this was stolen therefore he is now part of the theft.

“He knows this was stolen therefore he is now part of the theft.”
Yes, indeed. Accomplice after the fact. Well, before and during as well.
No army is so strong as an idea whose time has come.
But he REALLY wants you to go vote in Georgia so HE can keep the Senate.
It doesn’t take a challenge - some of the states sent two sets of electors and the President of the senate gets to choose how to vote.
Does McConnell do these things independently of the RNC or do orders come down from Rove and Romney-McDaniel?
The UniTreason Party at its best.
The “ process” was hijacked and turned into a coup.
Biden was not chosen by We the People.
We do not accept this.
