Sen. Lankford, 3 Other GOP Senators Won’t Object To Biden Electors

After the attack on the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, Senator James Lankford (R-OK) and three other GOP senators reverse previous plans and said they will not object to Biden electors.

The other senators who will no longer object to the electoral college votes are Steve Daines (R-MT), Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and Mike Braun (R-IN).

Lankford and Steve Daines (R-MT) jointly issued the following statement:

 “Today is a sad day for our country. The destruction and violence at our nation’s Capitol is an assault on democracy. We thank the men and women of the US Capitol Police for working to restore peace. The actions at the Capitol are indefensible and not supported by the vast majority of Trump supporters. We must rise above the violence.

“We must, and we will, have a peaceful and orderly transition of power. The violent actions of these rioters severely damages efforts to restore confidence in our elections. We will continue our calls to examine election integrity through all legal and peaceful means.

“We now need the entire Congress to come together and vote to certify the election results. We must stand together as Americans. We must defend our Constitution and the rule of law.”
