Senators Kelly Loeffler, Steve Daines and Mike Braun changed their minds after the Capitol attack and say they will not object to Biden’s victory, The Associated Press reported.
On Wednesday night, the Senate resumed debate on Republican lawmakers’ objections to the election of Joe Biden as president, more than six hours after a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol and forced it to that lawmakers will take refuge.
President Donald Trump has falsely insisted that there was election fraud and that in reality he was the winner. He reiterated these assertions in the morning in front of thousands of protesters gathered outside the White House and urged them to march on the Capitol, which many did.
Due to the chaos, the House of Representatives and the Senate ended the day’s debates and lawmakers withdrew to put themselves out of danger under police protection. Many lawmakers accused Trump of fomenting violence.
