Loeffler is still a GOP Senator because the term runs through 2022. Perdue is not, his term ended. It’s possible though seems quite unlikely that Loeffler’s race is official before this vote on Wednesday — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine While Trump is fighting his electoral loss, McConnell is shaping where his party stands before Ga. McConnell simply doesn't criticize Trump but is steering the party away from him - No $2,000 checks - NDAA override of Trump's veto - Most Senate Rs expected to certify election — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Objectors Daines and Tuberville say they haven't spoken to McConnell. After she was sworn in, asked Lummis what the leadership reaction has been: “A happy day for us.

@marianne_levine “He’s letting everybody reach their own conclusion here. That’s very much his leadership style on issues like this, is to not say much.

McConnell actively sought to prevent his senators from challenging the election. Now that they are, he's not whipping anyone against it but has spoken to at least half the Senate GOP conference about the matter Story with @marianne_levine https://t.co/w7H8goa0io — PolitiTweet.org
