WASHINGTON - A handful of Senate Republicans who had vowed to protest President-elect Joe Biden s electoral college win abruptly reversed their objections after a mob of President Donald Trump s supporters violently stormed the Capitol - even as other rogue senators signaled they would continue to contest the election results after Wednesday s deadly siege.
Sens. Steve Daines, R-Mont., James Lankford, R-Okla., and Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., who all endorsed objections to the tallying of electors in key disputed states, said they would stand down and support the affirmation of the election results. Loeffler, who lost her bid to retain her appointed seat Tuesday night, said she could no longer in good conscience do so after the hours-long melee that sent senators rushing to safety.
