Biden campaign calls move by GOP senators a 'stunt'
President-elect Joe Biden and his team are not showing any concern about the breakaway group of GOP senators planning to object to the results of the Electoral College on Jan. 6.
"This stunt won't change the fact that President-elect Biden will be sworn in on January 20th, and these baseless claims have already been examined and dismissed by Trump's own Attorney General, dozens of courts, and election officials from both parties," Biden spokesperson Mike Gwin said in a statement.

The group of senators -- close allies of President Donald Trump such as Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, James Lankford, Martha Blackburn and others -- said they will object to the slate of electors in "disputed states" unless a 10-day audit is conducted of those states' results. Yet, dozens of lawsuits about the election results have already been rejected by both conservative and liberal judges.
"Once completed, individual states would evaluate the Commission’s findings and could convene a special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed," Cruz and 10 other senators and senators-elect wrote in a statement Saturday. Hawley made his intentions clear earlier this week.
That audit appears unlikely and a rejection of the slate of electors would require a majority vote in both the Senate and House. The House lies solidly in Democratic control.
