On Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence wrote a letter to Congress. In the letter he does not have the "unilateral authority" to throw out states' electoral votes. The statement came minutes before Congress convened to officially certify President-elect Joe Biden's 2020 election victory. Pres. Trump has insisted that Pence has the power to "decertify" states' electoral votes and throw the election to him.
On Thursday Utah Congressman-elect Burgess Owens said he will support the challenge to Joe Biden's victory. Owens said he would take to the floor of the House of Representatives and declare his support for President Donald Trump. According to Business Insider Owens contends that there was "no question" that Trump was reelected. Owens said that his goal was "to make sure that I'm doing everything I can to take this to every legal end we have."
Republican lawmakers are planning to delay certification of Joe Biden's 2020 election victory. Pres. Donald Trump and his allies have tried to overturn the election for weeks. They have pushed "baseless" claims of election fraud. GOP Sen. Ben Sasse is slamming plans to delay certifying the election. He took to Facebook to share his dismay. "If you make big claims, you had better have the evidence." Sasse said the president has no evidence to back up his claims of election fraud.
President-elect Joe Biden on Monday said that his transition team is facing ongoing roadblocks. The roadblocks come from President Trump's political leadership at the Pentagon. Several of the blocks also come from the Office of Management and Budget, says Business Insider. "Right now, we just aren't getting all the information we need from the outgoing administration in key national security areas." Biden over the past week has repeatedly expressed concern about the lack of access he's received. The shutout follows alongside the SolarWinds hack and amid tensions with Iran.
