Even on the day when Joe Biden was officially certified by the Electoral College as the US president-elect, most of the Republican apparatus did not publicly change its tune.

President-elect Joe Biden officially earned over 270 Electoral College votes on Monday, bringing an end to nearly six weeks of efforts by President Trump to subvert and invalidate election results.
However, Trump has not yet conceded the 2020 election. His campaign, Republican allies, and Trump himself have mounted at least 40 legal challenges since Election Day. They've won zero.

On the very day of the results, Trump announced that Attorney General William Barr would leave the Justice Department. The news comes after Barr, an otherwise loyal functionary, disputed Trump's assertion that the 2020 election was fraudulent.

However the stimulus plan doesn't include new $1,200 checks for Americans. Excluding the checks from the package was the only way to reach an agreement with Republicans, according to Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin.
