McConnell says Electoral College certification will be his 'most consequential' vote ever: ReportSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that voting to certify the presidential election results will be "the most consequential I have ever cast," in a Thursday morning conference call, first reported by Axios.
"I'm finishing 36 years in the Senate and I've cast a lot of big votes," McConnell said during the call, according to Axios. "And in my view, just my view, this is will be the most consequential I have ever cast."
McConnell has been on the hot seat with President Trump since he congratulated President-elect Joe Biden for his win, earlier this month.
"Our country has, officially, a president-elect and a vice-president-elect," McConnell said from the Senate floor in mid December. "I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden. The president-elect is no stranger to the Senate. He's devoted himself to public service for many years."
Trump became frustrated with the Republican leader for not refusing to accept the election’s results, in line with Trump supporters like Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., and recently Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who said they will contest the election results.
McConnell could not be reached by Fox News for comment..........
