Sen. Hawley Vows To Challenge Biden Electors – GOP Representative Says Pelosi And McConnell May Strike ‘Deal’ To Block Members From Objecting to Biden
Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley became the first senator to say he’ll object to the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory when Congress meets on Jan. 6 to accept the results of the presidential election.
Several House Republicans have previously signaled their intention to do the same. With members of both the House and Senate planning objections, it’ll set off a dramatic scenario requiring a vote in both chambers.
Democrats control the House and will be able to vote down the measure. In the GOP-controlled Senate, several GOP senators have already indicated their objections to efforts to overturn the election results and will likely join Democrats in affirming Biden’s win.
For example, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) ended his speech on the Senate floor about President Donald Trump’s accomplishments on December 15, 2020, by recognizing President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.
Later in the day, Representative-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) wrote in a tweet that the word on Capitol Hill is that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell may strike a deal to change the rules in how congressional members can object to Joe Biden’s slate of electors.
Word on the Hill is that Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi could be working together on a rules change "deal" to block our Electoral College Certification objection.
The American people deserve to hear about the voter fraud that took place on Nov 3 … NO DEAL, NO COVER-UP!

Greene did not elaborate or provide a source for her tweet but the rumors of this “deal” are increasing but McConnell was already urging Republicans not to object during Congress’s count and certification of the Electoral College vote.
McConnell’s comments were made during a caucus call earlier this month, according to two sources familiar with the call, and come as House Republicans are eyeing a challenge to the results on Jan. 6 during a joint session of Congress.
