Republican senators are trapped in Trump
Ted
Cruz's public outcry over President Trump's reckless behavior is seen by many
as a threat to the normal process of American democracy. Trump claims he now
has the majority of votes in Georgia and Pennsylvania, which is enough to
change the outcome of the vote. And the objection that Senator Josh Hawley has
raised raises the issue of Pennsylvania.
US politics is taking a different turn. So far, 11 Republican senators have voiced support for President Donald Trump's reckless behavior. A number of Republican leaders have taken such a stand in alliance with US President Donald Trump. They will stand up for Trump's demand in the joint session of Congress on January 6.
For
another term in the White House, he called on Republican lawmakers to oppose
the certification of electoral votes in this joint session. In response to his
call, several Republican leaders have now taken to the field. In this case,
they have raised various allegations such as 'vote fraud', 'violation of
electoral law' and 'unjust change of electoral law' as usual. The team includes
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Roger Marshall of
Kansas, and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.
Republican leaders have formed an alliance with Trump
In alliance with US President Donald Trump, a number of Republican leaders have taken a position that is undermining US democracy. By denying Joe Biden's victory in the election and ignoring the views of millions of voters, they are trying to make their political aspirations a reality. Now at least a dozen more Republican senators have joined the party. They said they would stand by Trump in the January 6 joint session and question Joe Biden's victory.
Congress will set up an electoral commission to investigate and empower lawmakers in the disputed states to decide on the electoral vote, according to their joint statement. Vice President of Congress Mike Pence requested an order to make the final decision on the certification of electoral votes. Vice President Mike Pence himself asked the court not to grant him such an order in the case.
The leader of the Republican Party in the Senate has said that he will give the most important vote in the Senate on January 6. He did not make a public statement on the statements made by his party's senators. Not just 11 senators, but hundreds more pro-Trump lawmakers in the House of Representatives are expected to object to the results of the January 6 election. No one still raising such objections will change the outcome of the election.
On
the other hand, the leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate has said that
after losing dozens of votes in that election, there is no demand for fraud in
Trump's election. He said a joint session of Congress would approve Joe Biden
as president and Kamala Harris as vice president. These two will take oath on
January 20 according to the constitutional rules. In the end, Joe Biden's
victory or his inauguration on January 20 may not have much of an impact.
