Chris Christie: Trump s focus on election fraud claims certainly didn t help GOP in Georgia
Is President Trump to blame for the GOP s disappointing showing in the Georgia Senate runoffs? His focus on baseless election fraud claims certainly didn t help, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) says.
Christie spoke on Wednesday morning with SiriusXM s Julie Mason about what he described as a very disappointing night for Republicans in the Georgia Senate runoffs, as Democrat Raphael Warnock was projected to defeat Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), while Democrat Jon Ossoff leads Republican David Perdue in a race that hasn t been called.
Asked whether Trump was to blame for the result, Christie noted that when you re the head of the party, when you win, you get credit, and when you lose, you get blame. He added that Trump spending the past two months largely focused on his false claims that the presidential election was stolen from him was a factor.
Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon have some fun with Pence s Biden certification dilemma

Georgia had two big Senate elections Tuesday, and to support the Republican candidates, last night the president went down to Georgia â as devils often do, Stephen Colbert said on Tuesday s
Late Show. But the main thing on his mind was tomorrow s congressional certification of Joe Biden s win. The president still thinks he has a chance to somehow overturn that, partly because the guy overseeing the certification ceremony is his loyal Vice President Mike Pence, and he really expects Pence to have his back on this.
