Fox News anchor Bret Baier pressed Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) late Monday to explicitly say he believes President Trump will remain in the White House despite his defeat in the November election.
"I want to pin you down on what you're trying to do," Baier told Hawley during the Republican's appearance on the network. "Are you trying to say as of January 20 Trump will be president?"
Hawley responded: "That depends on what happens on Wednesday, that's why we have the debate."
"No it doesn't," Baier interjected. "The states, by the Constitution, say they certify the election, they did certify it. By the Constitution, Congress does not have the right to overturn the certification, at least as most experts read it."
