Senators Lisa Murkowski and Pat Toomey are clashing with fellow Republican lawmakers who have vowed not to vote to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.<\/p>\n

Ted Cruz is leading the senators opposed to certifying the results from key states like Pennsylvania unless an emergency 10-day audit is conducted by an electoral commission. Toomey, however, defended his state claiming Trump’s loss was “explained by the decline in suburban support.”<\/p>\n

“A fundamental, defining feature of a democratic republic is the right of the people to elect their own leaders,” said Toomey. “The effort by Senators Hawley, Cruz, and others to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in swing states like Pennsylvania directly undermines this right.”<\/p>\n

He also accused Republicans’ efforts to object to an Electoral College vote of an “effort to disenfranchise millions of voters.”<\/p>\n

Murkowski is distancing herself from the opposing group of Senate Republicans saying she “swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution.”<\/p>\n

“I will vote to affirm the 2020 presidential election,” she stated. “The courts and state legislatures have all honored their duty to hear legal allegations and have found nothing to warrant overturning the results.”<\/p>\n
