From the technical standpoint of a transition of power, the public opinion of congressional Republicans about whether Biden will take office Jan. 20 matters almost not at all.

From the broader standpoint of democracy and faith in elections, it could not hardly matter more at this moment.

The process that so many Republicans have been saying they want to play out is rather thoroughly exhausted already. The next seven days bring significant deadlines, with Tuesday's congressional "safe harbor" deadline for state election results and next Monday's Electoral College voting the most significant.

His tweets and the 101 minutes Trump spent airing grievances and falsehoods in Georgia Saturday night made clear he will pursue his dangerous fictions right through the end of his presidency. The good of the Republican Party -- and, of course, the good of the country -- are, at best, secondary considerations for the president at this point.

Some Republicans are trying to reframe questions about Biden's legitimacy as president-elect as though they are merely asking questions. Their suggestion is that democracy is threatened if people believe election irregularities have been ignored.

But far from being brushed aside, Trump's claims have been rejected in courthouses and state houses -- including by Republicans who have found themselves targeted by the president.

Ignoring that fact only sows more doubt in election integrity and legitimacy. And continuing to give Trump space to make wildly inaccurate and irresponsible claims will only solidify his hold on a party whose best interests have already begun to diverge from the president's.

The Biden team has announced co-chairs for the Presidential Inaugural Committee with Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, whose endorsement helped put Biden on a path to victory, at the helm to guide the larger committee as they prepare for the event in 44 days.

"This inauguration will show the country and the world something I have always known: we know Joe, and Joe knows us," Clyburn said in a statement through the Biden transition team.

Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will help lead Biden’s team as co-chairs, along with Clyburn who will serve as chair.

“These leaders reflect the strength, spirit, and diversity of America and have always held a steadfast commitment to restoring the soul of the nation, building back the middle class, and unifying the country,” Biden said in a statement Monday morning.
