Donald Trump's extraordinary crusade to overturn the presidential election will come to a head on Wednesday as Congress meets to certify Joe Biden's Electoral College victory at a joint session led by Vice President Mike Pence.
The typically routine proceeding will be anything but, as a group of 13 rogue Republican senators led by Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley plan to file objections when the alphabetical vote roll-call reaches the battleground state of Arizona.
The longshot effort is all but certain to fail, defeated by bipartisan majorities in Congress prepared to accept Biden's 306 to 232 electoral victory over Trump.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is expected to make a last-ditch effort to dissuade members of his party from following through with their doomed plot when he delivers a speech early in the day.
Sources familiar with McConnell's plans told Axios his speech will center around his fear that the objections will tear his party apart by forcing Republicans to choose between upholding democracy and alienating a hugely influential GOP figure in Trump.
Meanwhile Trump has placed his hopes on Pence, furiously claiming that the vice president could single-handedly overturn the election results during Wednesday's proceedings - and denying a report that Pence had told him that wasn't possible.

Screw the turtle!!! All he cares about is maintaining his power. Nothing for the betterment of the country.
FUMM
Some say a new party should be created.
I agree, but not as they think.
McConnell and his circle of traitors should be kicked out of the GOP. They can form a new party as they desire.
The boos will be deafening.
Don’t look to the GOP for that. Worthless cowards.
If so, the MSM will cover his speech, not cover the DC Rally.
No one I know is voting for the Communist Light party of the Republicans. We deregistered to vote since there are no elections anymore. There is only communist declarations of who they chose.
The GOP did not fight to respect and retain my vote and allowed it to be stolen. The GOP fights for nothing. They sit back, let sh*t happen, then proclaim they are the answer. The GOP is NOT the answer to anything. They are part of the problem.

Moments ago, I announced that I am officially joining the Republican Party.
Now more than ever, the Republican Party is in desperate need of leaders that know how to fight.
I know how to fight.

Mitch doesn’t get it. The senators work for us and not him.
“How much do we know about Elaine Chao?”
“Chao’s father and sisters own a shipping company called Foremost Group, which has a fleet of foreign-flagged ships that transport materials to and from China. The committee cited reports that she allegedly used her role in the U.S. government to boost the company’s status, which federal regulations prohibit. It cited 2018 and 2019 budget requests in which her department wanted to cut millions of dollars from programs that support U.S. ships and shipbuilders. The committee believes such decisions could have been made to benefit Foremost Group.”
HA HA HA HA
This will the end of him.
Mitch McConnell? F u
The GOP is completely DEAD to me. So are the Commies who have taken over the DemocRAT Party.
You’re history, Mitch.
There is not ONE true conservative in the 50 states who has ANY respect for you anymore.
Go have drinks with Mitt and Karl Rove.
It’s easy, he sold his soul for money... They all did.
I hope they do kill off the Republican Party.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
