It only took 42 days, but Mitch McConnell has finally admitted that Joe Biden is the President-Elect saying:

“Yesterday electors met in all 50 states, so as of this morning our country has a President-Elect and Vice-President-elect. Many of millions of us hoped that the presidential election would yield a different result, but our system of government has processes to determine who will be sworn in on January 20th. The electoral college has spoken.”

In a speech from the Senate floor, the Senate Majority Leader went on to say:

“Today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden. The President-elect is no stranger to the Senate. He has devoted himself to public service for many years.

I also want to congratulate the Vice-President-elect our colleague from California, Senator Harris. Beyond our differences, all Americans can take pride that our nation has a female Vice-President elect for the very first time.” 

Later in the day Politico, reports:

McConnell warned Republican senators Tuesday during a private caucus call not to object to the election results on January 6, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

McConnell told his caucus that objecting to the results would force Republicans to take a “terrible vote” because they would need to vote it down and appear against President Donald Trump. Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) also echoed McConnell’s remarks.
