Senators Kelly Loeffler, Steve Daines and Mike Braun changed their minds after the attack on Capitol Hill and say they will not object to Biden’s victory, The Associated Press reported.
On Wednesday night, the Senate resumed debate over Republican lawmakers’ objections to Joe Biden’s election as president, more than six hours after a pro-Trump crowd attacked the Capitol and forced lawmakers to hide. .
President Donald Trump has falsely insisted that there was fraud in the election and that he was actually the winner. He echoed those claims in the morning before thousands of protesters gathered outside the White House and urged them to march to the Capitol, which many did.
Due to the chaos, the House and Senate ended the day’s debates and lawmakers withdrew to safety under police protection. Many lawmakers accused Trump of inciting violence.
