Although Republican Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina hasn't released his third-quarter numbers yet, it's likely he's breaking into a cold sweat. That's because his Democratic challenger, Jamie Harrison, raised a record $57 million in the third quarter of 2020. The deluge in cash led to an appeal by Graham to his supporters on Fox News, where he said that he 'was getting killed financially' by Harrison. Business Insider reports Harrison beat the fundraising record of then-Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas, who ran against Republican Ted Cruz in 2018. The most recent Quinnipiac University poll showed both Harrison and Graham tied at 48% support.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas plans to attend President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. This comes after weeks of elevating misinformation about the election results. Cruz has faced immense backlash and increasing pressure to resign following his objection. Biden has even criticized the Texas senator and said he should be defeated in 2024. Since November, Cruz has sown doubts into the electoral process, says Business Insider. Cruz's communications director, Lauren Blair Bianchi, also left her job in the wake of the siege.
