President Donald Trump said on a radio show in New York Sunday that he had spoken with Alabama U.S. Senator-elect and former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville over the weekend.
Tuberville has said he may support a potential challenge to the U.S. presidential election result from November, in which Joe Biden defeated the incumbent Trump. The House and Senate will convene in January to officially confirm Biden as the nation’s 46th president.

In a tweet, Trump called Tuberville “a great champion and man of courage.”
“More Republican Senators should follow his lead,” the President tweeted. “We had a landslide victory, and then it was swindled away from the Republican Party - but we caught them. Do something!”
That’s because he is a great champion and man of courage. More Republican Senators should follow his lead. We had a landslide victory, and then it was swindled away from the Republican Party - but we caught them. Do something! https://t.co/nZU0czsZgB Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 18, 2020
