As of Nov. 16 at 2pm ET, only two of Ohio's 13 Republicans in Congress have acknowledged (either in public remarks or statements sent to me) that @JoeBiden is the president-elect.
The @AP and other major news organizations called the race nine days ago.

2) Do you agree that @JoeBiden is now President-elect Biden?
