Summary
Republican Senator Hawley CONFIRMS Electoral Vote Objection, Biden's Election WILL be Contested. With a Senator finally signing on to object we can expect to see a debate in the joint session of congress on January 6th.
While it may make for good signaling it is likely to fail as even mitch McConnell has called on Republicans not to object.
Trump would need a majority of both houses in order to change the outcome of the election at this point and with Democrat and Republican leadership rejecting the notion of contesting the election Trump will not likely get a majority in either chamber.
However, on the ground will be Trump's most ardent supporters flooding DC and demanding the results be overturned.

| 0:00.0 | Republican Senator Josh Hawley has announced he will be objecting to the electoral college |
| 0:05.7 | vote count on January 6th in Washington, DC giving us pretty close to clear confirmation |
| 0:13.6 | that there will be a contested result and objection in the joint session of Congress. |
| 0:19.0 | And it likely will not lead to anything in order for there to be a change. |
| 0:25.4 | Both chambers would have to agree. |
| 0:27.1 | Now there's also a lawsuit filed against other Republicans against Mike Pence arguing |
| 0:32.7 | that he has the right to choose which envelopes to open and count and because Republican |
| 0:39.2 | electoral candidates did cast procedural votes, he can choose to count them instead. |
| 0:45.1 | Now Hawley is saying that there are irregularities in certain states and they should be discussed |
| 0:51.3 | and debated. |
| 0:52.8 | As for this lawsuit, they're arguing that the state legislatures are the ones who've |
| 0:57.0 | ultimately chosen this new slate and Pence should actually count them. |
| 1:01.7 | Well, the problem with that Mike Pence lawsuit part is that the alternate electors they |
| 1:07.5 | claim are coming in are not certified by anybody. |
| 1:10.2 | Certainly there have been many state legislatures who have said these are the official electors, |
| 1:15.3 | but it's not been through a legislative session. |
| 1:18.3 | There's not been a majority of the state legislator voting for these these electors. |
| 1:23.7 | And thus Mike Pence probably probably will do nothing. |
| 1:27.5 | More importantly, however, it appears that Mike Pence has actually rejected the calls |
| 1:33.1 | from Republicans to actually stand up and count votes for Donald Trump. |
| 1:38.3 | My friends, based on what we are seeing with Trump's latest actions pertaining to say |
