In fact, in 2000, then-Vice President Al Gore presided over the session that certified George W. Bush’s victory, even as his Democratic allies in the House demanded a challenge. And in 2016, Biden was leading the session when House members attempted a challenge. “It’s over,” he told them, gaveling down the effort.
Sasse indicated that in private, he’s spoken with two dozen of his GOP colleagues and none have echoed the president’s claims. Sasse also delivered a sharp rebuke of Trump’s attorneys, who he said told one story to their loyal supporters — and donors — and a different one to the courts. While seeking to debunk the president’s claims, Sasse also issued an unsupported claim of his own: that the media had declared "flatly … from on high that ‘there is no fraud!'" which he claims has contributed to public distrust of the election results. However, media outlets tracking the election have reported precisely what Sasse has claimed: that there is no evidence of fraud “so significant that it could have changed the outcome.
He's out to boost his ego. He knows that there's no way he can over turn this election. Not even a minute chance. They all know it. It's the law
There's no transparency to accumulated wealth in the US. That wealth (Black Rock, Vanguard, etc $14T) has unbelievable influence over our media and political system. That wealth is clearly enriching a very few at the expense of the vast majority.
... from the man who voted against hearing witnesses with evidence during the impeachment trial. Sasse can sit down and be quiet.
Ripped? Does that mean they are bleeding out? Or will a bandaid suffice?
Am I right in supposing that Sasse and Romney going against Hawley’s game is basically enough to shut it down?
Nice PR for sasse
it's going to be fun watching Trump drag the GOP down with him over the next 2 weeks
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) is an embarrassment to every American with an IQ over 90.
So now Sasse is concerned.
So?
The same Ben Sasse who supposedly looked the evidence in the eye & voted not to impeach. Too little & way too late.
Too late, Benny.
He enabled and empowered trump. He doesn’t get to white wash his part in this.
Profile in cowardice.
Sasse is still a rank coward. Remember his phone call that was caught on tape in October? He speaks the truth about dump in private but votes for his agenda 90% of the time. He is a collaborator and I hope his career suffers for it.
You have courage and integrity and people are with you
Screw him. That is all.
Very sassy of him 😝
Ben Sasse Thank you for standing up for the rule of law, our Democracy, for putting country first, and standing up against this dangerous attempt to overturn our election. Senator Sasse is a true patriot
Who'd Ben Sasse vote for in November? Because Trump said he was going to call it all fraud beforehand.

For a Part member, Ben Sasse does have some vision. Maybe, like me, he can see a 45 win and the next step following will be rounding up all of the Party enemies and taking them to private prisons run by Betsy DeVos and Erik Prince.
How many democrats have the courage to speak out against the Big Guys dealings with his office mates placing the presidential Air Force 2 into foreign pay to play politics and money laundering activities?
No worse than the treasonous, Obama ‘16 coup plot against an elected President.
I predict that Sasse won’t win his next election.
BenSasse is high on his own self-importance. He's a complete joke to the Nebraska GOP wasteoftime
Hey, Ben, Harvard/Yale guy....spare me your righteous indignation! Reeks of Jim Comey to me! Thinking of running for President.... Think again...not gonna happen!
News Flash: We could care less about anything this man says. He’s not conservative .. he only pretended to be one to get elected.
If they had the balls to take a stand in January during the impeachment, it all could have been avoided!
So after being safely re-elected, Sasse unsets the mute button after 4 years, but I guess that's what constitutes a profile in courage among the current GOP.
Are you looking to run for higher office, Ben? I'm just wondering about your recently stiffened spine.
Millions voted against Trump! He was never a president for all Americans. Trump will not survive!
BenSasse needs to be primaried he is a RINO. He is complicit with blatant voter fraud and should be prosecuted with the rest of those that go along with it. Maybe he has something to hide and knows he will be exposed as a Deep State minion when Trump is inaugurated on 1/20/21
Does he know he can do more than talk?
There’s two sides here. You only cover one side. Liars. EnemyOfThePeople
Finally someone is standing up and speaking truth to power!
Will probably need to overturn the election in 4 years.
I’m glad that SenSasse found his principled voice again. But the fire has been raging since January 2017. This is like bringing a bucket of water to a wildfire
Great. But Sasse sat by silently for four years, so he’s not really a hero, although he’d like to to think he is.
The centered Republicans are calling ... they want their party back. 😆!!
Sasse voted to acquit Trump, he is part of the reason we are here.
Meanwhile we got american terrorists blowing stuff up b/c nobody in the trymp admin is doind their job or letting JoeBiden do his!
