EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “And today we heard from the junior senator from Missouri that he intends to object to election results, particularly in Pennsylvania, a state where the Trump campaign and its allies have brought more — no fewer than 13 lawsuits and lost every single one, many with Republican judges ruling. There have been only three individuals — three — charged with voter fraud in Pennsylvania. In each case, the person voted for Trump. The effort by the sitting president of the United States to overturn the results is patently undemocratic. The effort by others to amplify and burnish his ludicrous claims of fraud is equally revolting. This is America. We have elections. We have results. We make arguments based on the fact and reason, not conspiracy and fantasy. On January 6, the Congress will meet to formally recognize the Electoral College result. There is a very clear process to handle and dispense with objections from members of Congress to the counting of the result, and that’s just what we will do: dispense with them. The Congress will ratify the Electoral College’s decision that Joe Biden will be president and Kamala Harris will be vice president on January 6. And make no mistake about it, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be sworn in as president and vice president on January 20.”
