Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is expected to rebuke the GOP challenge to certify the Electoral College results for President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday, sources tell Fox News. If so, it would be his first public statement against President Trump's supporters in Congress on the matter.

TRUMP SLAMS MCCONNELL, CORNYN, THUNE AS 'WEAK AND INEFFECTIVE' RINOS AHEAD OF ELECTORAL CERTIFICATION

A coalition of more than a dozen GOP lawmakers in both the House and Senate are gearing up for a fight during Congress' joint session, a battle they are likely to lose but that has caused a stir for opponents unhappy with the challenge to the results of the presidential election.

Meanwhile, a source familiar with Wednesday's vote told Fox News McConnell plans to be one of the first speakers to object to initial challenges by colleagues in his own party, driving home the importance of certifying the votes -- which have been approved by all 50 states -- and ensuring a peaceful transfer of power.

In private, McConnell has warned Republicans -- many of whom will be up for reelection in 2022 -- the grave political ramifications of attempting to stymie Biden's transition into the White House but has publicly shied away from going toe-to-toe with the president.
