Republican lawmakers on Monday evening began acknowledging — somewhat — that Joe Biden is the president-elect after the electoral college convened to affirm his victory over Trump. said he was “disappointed” by the results of the electoral college vote but said “we must put aside politics and respect the constitutional process.”“Today, the electoral college has cast their votes and selected Joe Biden as the President-elect. State Legislatures, State Courts, and the United States Supreme Court have not found enough evidence of voter fraud to overturn the results of the Electoral College vote,” Braun said. Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters “yeah” when asked if Biden was president-elect and began commenting rapid-fire on Biden’s would-be Cabinet nominees.
