A Republican lawmaker is vowing to carry out his challenge of Joe Biden’s election as president despite Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s recognition of the results and warnings from other GOP senators that the effort is doomed to fail.
Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama said Tuesday he’ll object when Congress convenes Jan. 6 to count certificates of electoral votes, usually a mostly ceremonial process confirming the results of the presidential election.
