This is going to piss them off even more.

And it seems that at the very least, Rand Paul is going to be a pain in McConnell's ass
But wait, there's more!



Meanwhile, senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley seem to be considering jumping on board.

Senate Republicans Consider Challenging Joe Biden's Win Despite Mitch McConnell's Warning

Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told Newsweek they remain undecided, while several of their GOP colleagues declined to shut the door on the notion of joining a House-led movement to contest Biden's Electoral College victory that was made official on Monday.
If any one of these Senators join Rep Mo Brooks' in contesting this, it will force a 2-hour debate and a formal vote in the Senate on whether or not to overturn any EVs. Obviously this will then die in the House, so it just puts Republican senators in a bad spot.

Interestingly, senators Loeffler and Perdue, both fighting for their jobs in a tough GA runoff, refuse to answer any questions as to whether or not they will join in on contesting this.

ALSO, in a surprising twist, the spineless Trump lapdog Lindsey Graham has already accepted the result and says he will not be contesting. Then again, maybe not so surprising, as he just goes along with whichever way the wind is blowing.
