U.S. Senator Cruz leads long-shot Republican bid to overturn Biden’s victory

WORLD
JASON LANGE and TIMOTHY GARDNER U.S. Senator Ted Cruz will spearhead a drive by nearly a dozen Republican senators to challenge President-elect Joe Biden's victory when Electoral College results are tallied in Congress on January 6 – a largely symbolic move that has virtually no chance of preventing Biden from taking office. Cruz's effort is in defiance of Senate Republican leaders, who have argued that the Senate's role in certifying the election is largely ceremonial and had been looking to avoid an extended debate on the floor about the outcome.

"In this battle for the soul of America, democracy prevailed," Biden said in a prime-time speech from his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.

Chances narrow of Trump overturning Biden’s win after Georgia recount

Chances narrow of Trump overturning Biden’s win after Georgia recount

WORLD
TREVOR HUNNICAUTT and JOSEPH AX PRESIDENT Donald Trump's quixotic bid to overturn the November 3 election results was dealt another blow when a recount confirmed he had lost Georgia, while the winner, President-elect Joe Biden, filled more jobs in his incoming U.S. administration. Biden, a Democrat, is preparing to take office on January 20, but Trump, a Republican, has refused to concede and is searching for a way to invalidate or overturn the results in a number of states, claiming widespread voter fraud. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger poured more cold water on the Trump campaign's effort when he…
