Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tennessee)
President Donald Trump allies are peeling away this week in the face of his refusal to concede, as several Republican senators pressured the General Services Administration (GSA) to formally declare a winner Monday so that the transition to a Joe Biden administration could kickoff smoothly.
On Capitol Hill Monday, several GOP senators advocated for the immediate transfer of classified information and reports to President-elect Joe Biden to ensure a peaceful transition, despite President Donald Trump and the General Service Administration (GSA) refusal to acknowledge Biden’s victory.
Republican Sens. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana all said that the Biden transition should begin immediately after Michigan officially certified its results and selected Biden as the winner of its 16 electoral college votes.
In the final count, Biden won Michigan by almost 155,000 votes. Almost immediately after the result was finalized, Emily Murphy, administrator of the GSA, released a letter formally declaring Biden the apparent winner.
