Biden chief of staff Ron Klain says on MSNBC that the president-elect has spoken to some Republican senators (he doesn’t say which) but not yet to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Klain suggests R senators who have spoken with Biden may not want their names public right now: “I’m not naming names because we read out the calls when we read out the calls, when both sides agree to read out the calls. And he’s having private conversations with individuals.”

@jomalleydillon O'Malley Dillon calls Georgia "a true tossup" but says considering the outstanding votes are from D areas and mail-in, the state "at this stage leans to" Biden.
