Big business has defeated Republicans who are expected to challenge the election result when Congress votes tomorrow.
The Chamber of Commerce said the appeal by the Trump administration and a group of at least 12 GOP Generals to block Joe Biden ‘s victory undermines our democracy and the rule of law and will only lead to further secession. ‘
The idea was raised by scores of Wall Street Leaders who wrote that attempts’ to prevent or delay this process run counter to the essential principles of our democracy. ‘
Last night, Donald Trump was building support in Georgia, telling supporters at a rally that he would ‘fight like hell’ to keep Joe Biden out of the White House.
To date, the president has received the support of a dozen Republican senators, including Josh Hawley (Mo.), Ted Cruz (Texas) and Ron Johnson (Wis.), And up to 100 House Republicans to challenge winning Electoral College 306-232 Biden.
The Chamber of Commerce said it ‘weakens our democracy and the rule of law and will only lead to further segregation across our country. ‘The idea was raised by scores of Wall Street Leaders who wrote that attempts‘ to stop this process or delay it are against the essential principles of our democracy. ‘
The Chamber of Commerce, a major lobbying and virtual decoration of the business building, and the Partnership for New York City, a select group of CEOs from nearly three hundred major Wall Street companies, criticized encouraging statements Monday.
The Chamber of Commerce said: ‘Attempts by some members of Congress to avoid confirmed election results in an attempt to change the election result or try to make a long-term political point will undermine our democracy and the rule of law and that will only yield the result of additional division.

‘We urge Congress to take responsibility in counting the election votes, the Trump administration to make an orderly transition for the incoming Biden administration, and the all of our elected officials to expend the energy to combat the pandemic and support our economic recovery. ‘
Meanwhile the Partnership for New York City said: ‘This primary election has been decided and it is time for the country to move forward.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have won the electoral college and the courts have rejected challenges to the election process.
‘Congress should confirm the election vote on Wednesday.’
With Biden set to be installed on Jan. 20, Trump is stepping up efforts to halt traditional power shifts.
On a call issued Sunday, he is heard urging Georgia officials to find him ‘11,780 votes’ since the November 3 election he lost in that state.
But Republicans’ attempts to challenge the election in Congress are almost certain to fail in the House controlled by Democrats and in the Senate, where the GOP has a small majority, several Senators Republicans say they will not support Trump.
President Donald Trump will address a crowd at a rally Monday night in Dalton, Georgia. He immediately started talking about how he won the 2020 primary election, which he did not
Trump said last night that he is ‘fighting like hell’ to hold on to the presidency and shouted to a gathering in Georgia that Biden was not going to take over this White House. ‘
The purpose of Mr. Trump’s announcement was to give the Republican Senate candidates a boost in Tuesday’s rehearsal election, but he spent much of his speech complaining bitterly about his election loss.
While he received nothing but rejoicing Monday night, Mr. Trump’s attempt to reverse the primary election is dividing the Republican Party.
Some pro-GOP lawmakers are going on, despite criticism from former and former party officials warning that the effort is weakening American belief in democracy.
The 10 surviving defense secretaries wrote op-ed that ‘the time for questioning the results is over’.
It is unclear to what extent GOP leaders in Congress can control a joint session on Wednesday, which could slow into the night, although the challenges in the election are largely certain.
Mr. Trump himself is raising crowds for Wednesday’s rally near the White House.
Vice President Mike Pence, who is under pressure to deliver the results for Mr. Trump as he takes part in a ceremonial position over a joint session Wednesday, will be closely monitored.
‘I promise you this: On Wednesday, our day will be in Congress,’ Mr Pence said while campaigning in Georgia ahead of Tuesday ‘s run-by-election elections that will take control of the Assembly.
Mr Trump said in Georgia: ‘I hope our great vice president comes through. He is a good man. In fact, if it doesn’t come through, I don’t like it that much. He said: ‘No, Mike is a good boy. ‘

Loeffler announced she would oppose Joe Biden’s victory at the campaign event with President Trump
A Georgia Republican in Tuesday’s runaway – Senator Kelly Loeffler, who is opposed to Democrat Raphael Warnock – told the crowd that she will join senators formally opposing Mr. Biden’s win.
The other Republican seeking re-election, David Perdue, who is running against Democrat Jon Ossoff, will not be eligible to vote.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly repeated his claims about election scams, which have been rejected by election officials – Republicans as well as Democrats in state after state – and courts up to the U.S. Supreme Court.
His former lawyer, William Barr, has also said there is no evidence of fraud that could alter the outcome of the election.
Mr Biden, speaking at a rally rally in Atlanta earlier Monday, said Mr Trump is ‘spending more time whistling and complaining’ than he is working on resolving coronary virus infection.
He said immediately: ‘I don’t know why he still wants the job – he doesn’t want the job.’
During Monday, current and former GOP officials made an effort to spend the election.
Three-time veteran John Danforth of Missouri said in a strong statement: ‘It is a horrific attack to give credence to Trump’s false claim that the election was stolen.
‘It is against conservatism; it is radical. ‘
The challenge for the primary election is on a scale unseen since the post-civil war, although recent objections have been plagued by the standard process of determining Electoral College votes.
In 2017, several House Democrats challenged Mr. Trump’s victory, but Mr. Biden, who was present at the time as vice president, quickly fired them to testify to Mr. Trump’s influence.
