What Happened This Week In Washington — And Georgia

I want to add to my lengthy comments from earlier about elected Republicans breaking with Trump. The emphasis is on elected Republicans, and of course not all of them (they’re probably likelier to be senators than House members). I have no idea if voters will follow along. In fact, if I had to guess today, they won’t. There is a well-developed apparatus in radio, TV, online that can motivate the Trumpier parts of the party, especially once they are out of power. Remember the Tea Party? So this break may well be unsuccessful, but it will happen.

So far, this is going down pretty much how everybody expected it to go down.

Each chamber — House and Senate — is now withdrawing to debate the merits of the objection to Arizona’s certificate.
