Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) said Monday that she will object to the presidential election results when Congress convenes a joint session on Wednesday to formally count the Electoral College vote.
Loeffler’s statement comes one day before her runoff election in Georgia, in which she’s mounting a bid against the Rev. Raphael Warnock to serve out the final two years of retired Sen. Johnny Isakson’s (R) term, to which she was appointed in late 2019.
“I will vote to give President Trump and the American people the fair hearing they deserve and support the objection to the Electoral College certification process,” she said in a statement.
Loeffler is the 13th GOP senator to pledge to fight President-elect Joe Biden’s win when Congress counts the Electoral College results on Wednesday, turning what is frequently a formality into an hours-long political fight.

A lot of what passes for “populism” in the current discourse is the most toxic form of elitism: Using your power and platform to feed people lies, and then dishonestly claiming that you’re merely channeling their grievances when they’re foolish enough to believe you.
