Too bad, so sad. There are still several challenges ongoing. Why are the Democrats so desperate to have Republicans call Biden the president-elect?

The members of the committee are Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Sen. Amy Klobuchar along with Republicans, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Sen. Roy Blunt.

“Today, at a meeting of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC), Republicans voted to reject a motion offered by House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) that the committee affirm that it is preparing for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris in coordination with the Biden Presidential Inaugural Committee,” Rep. Steny H. Hoyer said.

“Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Roy Blunt (R-MO) were joined by House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) in blocking the motion, effectively preventing JCCIC from publicly accepting that the upcoming inauguration will be for President-elect Biden,” he said.
