Senator James Lankford, who objected to the Arizona certification, just said that the Senate...

[George II]

...."WILL confirm the election of Joe Biden as President"!!!

I was hoping this would happen.

Now how about Cruz and Hawley? Will they agree?

[msongs]

1. he did not say he will stop his objections or that others would drop them nt

[uponit7771]

6. +1, they're not going that far they're mouthing what they think people want to hear

[TeamPooka]

15. thats not what we what/need to hear

[idziak4ever1234]

2. Let us see who the first Republican will be to turn the argument to questioning the election results

[cilla4progress]

3. I think I heard him allude

to dropping his objection, too.

[Tarc]

4. Can they just call for a voice vote and see if they can gavel it closed?

Put Hawley on the record, make him say "yes, I am still going to continue my bullshit even after a 6-hour lockdown.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Exactly... We lost our audience hours and hours ago

[Cha]

5. TY.. where's he a Senator

[still_one]

[Cha]

13. TY.. I could google..

[still_one]

19. It's fine

[George II]

12. I think Oklahoma.

[Cha]

14. Thanks.. yes he is.. I

just finally googled.

Glad he's come around since Arizona!

[ProfessorGAC]

7. In Other Words...

...McConnell & Pence told him to knock this crap off!
They're now in the minority, given Harris.
He could be a back bencher in the party out of power, if McConnell decided.
"Shut up & sit down, Jimmy"

[still_one]

8. An important message, and the OPs question how about Cruz and Harley is an important one

[Vivienne235729]

10. I can't imagine cruz and hawley would dare try any of that crap now.

McConnell sounded pretty clear about that and he rules them w a tight leash. But they are on my radar for their next election year. I'll be donating to their opponents and working diligently to get rid of them.

[onetexan]

16. it only took Moscow Mitch 4 years of this dangerous man & these rabid senators under him to realize

if you play with fire you will get burned.

[ffr]

11. It only took an insurrection that e fanned and one death. Glad he can see the light.

Gee, so nice to have the adult in him come out and speak.

[Hortensis]

18. Hope it goes that way, but the plan is to complete the job tonight in any case.

Roll Call: Pelosi suggested in her letter that the plan when Congress resumes is for them to complete the joint session. First the chambers will need to resume their separate deliberations on an objection that Republicans lodged to the Arizona results.

“We always knew this responsibility would take us into the night,” Pelosi said. “The night may still be long but we are hopeful for a shorter agenda, but our purpose will be accomplished.”

It’s unclear if Republicans will still object to the results from other states, like Georgia and Pennsylvania, as some had planned. Some of the GOP senators involved in the objection effort had been spotted huddling and deliberating, but they have yet to share an update on their plans.

If they keep to their original plan, they may be up all night. While the nation sleeps through it.

[Hekate]

20. Sounds like the seditious dozen are starting to peel off?

[George II]

21. Yes. Cruz has already spoken and by rule can't speak again. Wonder if he'd back down too?

I doubt it.

Even Loser Loeffler withdrew her objection.
