ELECTORAL COLLEGE/JOE BIDEN/MITCH MCCONNELL: “Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell acknowledged Joe Biden as the president-elect for the first time on Tuesday [Dec. 15, 2020], more than a month after Mr. Biden won the presidential election. McConnell waited until the Electoral College formally voted to elect Mr. Biden on Monday, officially finalizing the election results…
President Trump has refused to concede, even as dozens of lawsuits brought by his campaign challenging the outcome have failed, and the Supreme Court has twice declined to hear cases seeking to overturn the election results.”
