• Sen. McConnell congratulated Joe Biden as president-elect this morning from the Senate floor.

• In a 10-minute speech, Sen. McConnell acknowledged President Trump's accomplishments: "As you can see, it would take far more than one speech to catalog all the major wins the Trump Administration has helped deliver for the American people. The outsider who swore he would shake up Washington and lead our country to new accomplishments both at home and abroad proceeded to do exactly that. President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence deserve our thanks and our gratitude for their tireless work — and their essential roles in all these victories and many more."

• Sen. McConnell also explained: "Many millions of us had hoped the presidential election would yield a different result but our system of government has processes to determine who will be sworn in on January the 20th," and noting that "the Electoral College has spoken," he congratulated Biden and Kamala Harris.

• Joe Biden reported that he had a "good conversation" with Sen. McConnell today.

• Electors to the Electoral College met across America yesterday, as this part of the election process was in the spotlight as never before. Biden received 306 Electoral College votes; President Trump, 232.

• Congress will meet on January 6, 2021 "to count and certify the electoral votes" ahead of the inauguration on January 20, 2021. Rep. Mo Brooks (AL) previously said he would challenge the Electoral College results, though a Senator must also join him (or any other House member) in a challenge.
