In a media availability at the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta this afternoon, Gov. Brian Kemp responded to the president saying he should resign via Twitter Wednesday morning.

When first asked about the president's tweet, Kemp said he was focused on the coronavirus -- ensuring there are enough hospital beds and getting the vaccine distributed and administered across the state.

When pressed on Trump's call for him to resign, Kemp said, "I've supported the president. I've said that many times. I've worked as hard as anybody in the state on his reelection up through November the 3rd."

"I've supported the legal process that him or any other campaign can go through in that state, but at the end of the day, I also have to follow the laws in the Constitution," he added.

A coalition of 46 left-leaning groups including Greenpeace, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), MoveOn has issued a new letter calling on Biden and Vice President-elect Harris to focus on “democracy reform policies.”

The coalition is urging the Biden-Harris Administration to sign “a robust ethics order for your appointments on day one of your administration to prevent conflicts of interest, undue lobbyist influence, and ensure transparency to guarantee that your administration is focused solely on working for all Americans.”

Some of the demands from the groups include protecting voting rights, ending the power of big money in politics, restoring ethics and accountability in the capital, and protecting the rule of law through checks and balances.

President Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, spoke before members of the Georgia state Senate and repeated his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud and the fantasy that his client won the state of Georgia and the general election altogether. No lawmaker asked him a question following his remarks.

The hearing, which Trump tweeted was being broadcast on Newsmax and OANN this morning, was before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Election Law -- the same subcommittee that Giuliani spoke before on Dec. 3, right before he was diagnosed with coronavirus.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell effectively shut the door on allowing a vote on a bill that would boost pandemic relief checks from $600 to $2,000.

Republicans like McConnell have previously said they are concerned about the half-trillion-dollar price tag of the $2,000 payments that would add to the national debt.

On the Senate floor Wednesday, McConnell attacked House Democrats for wanting to send a "boatload of cash" to people making six figures who aren't in need, saying it doesn't make sense to support Americans who haven't lost income due to the pandemic.

"The Senate's not going to be bullied into rushing out more borrowed money into the hands of Democrats' rich friends who don't need the help," McConnell said.

He said Congress needs to send "smart targeted aid. Not another firehose of money."

McConnell also said he will not split the $2,000 relief payment bill from a repeal of Section 230 or the creation of an election fraud commission.

"The Senate is not going to split apart the three issues that President Trump linked together," McConnell said, which means the bill, if the Senate does intend to vote on it, is unlikely to ever become law.

Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer tried again Wednesday to unanimously pass the House standalone bill that swaps out the $600 payments for $2,000, but McConnell objected. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., also tried to pass the House bill unanimously, but GOP Sen. Pat Toomey objected.

The House narrowly passed a bill that would increase the amount of money Americans receive in a second round of pandemic relief stimulus payments to $2,000, up from $600.

The final vote tally was 275-134, receiving the two-thirds majority it required under the expedited vote. There were 44 Republicans who voted with Democrats.

Even though Trump supports the measure, a number of Republicans voted against the bill. Its fate remains uncertain in the Senate.

The House vote comes one day after Trump signed the $2.3 trillion spending and COVID-19 relief bill, which included $600 stimulus checks for Americans who make $75,000 or less. Trump initially threatened to hold up the bill last week and said it was a "disgrace." He spent the next several days calling on Congress to pass a bill that included $2,000 stimulus checks instead.

Democrats took up Trump's offer last week and attempted to pass a bill that would send Americans $2,000 checks via unanimous consent but that attempt failed over Republican objections. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed to bring the bill to the floor for a full recorded vote on Monday.

Even though the bill has now cleared the House, at this point it's unclear if the Republican-led Senate will bring the bill to the floor for a vote. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made no promises in his statement Sunday when he commended the president for finally signing the COVID-19 relief bill into law.

Pelosi called on Trump to put more pressure on his party to back the payments.

"Every Republican vote against this bill is a vote to deny the financial hardship that families face and to deny the American people the relief they need," she said in a statement released Sunday.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday that he would try to pass the legislation in the Senate.

"No Democrats will object. Will Senate Republicans?" he tweeted.
