“Mitch, 75,000,000 VOTES, a record for a sitting President (by a lot),” the president tweeted late Tuesday night after McConnell referred to Biden as president-elect on the Senate floor. “Too soon to give up. Republican Party must finally learn to fight. People are angry!”
Trump's allies slammed McConnell for congratulating BIDEN.
Trump has launched legal challenges across the country, citing widespread voter fraud in an unbiased attempt to challenge November's election, which has been certified and now voted on by the Electoral College.

The Daily Mail article accompanying the president’s late-night tweet referred to several examples of prominent supporters slamming Republicans who don’t continue fighting for Trump’s reelection.

Senate Majority Leader McConnell went on to warn Republican senators during a private caucus call not to object to the election results on Jan. 6, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
McConnell told his caucus that challenging the results would force Republicans to take a “terrible vote” because they would need to vote it down and appear against President Donald Trump. Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) also echoed McConnell’s remarks.

Some Trump allies have been floating the possibility of another election challenge when Congress convenes to count and certify the Electoral College result on Jan. 6.
"Yesterday was one step in the constitutional process," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters on Tuesday in response to the Electoral College being in Biden’s favor, adding that the president’s team will continue to pursue "legitimate litigation" as long as those avenues are open.

Several House Republicans, led by hard-line conservative Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), are still planning to challenge the election results on Jan. 6, the date Congress will officially certify them. If a Republican senator joins the long-shot effort, however, it will force both chambers to take a vote on the election. But they have yet to get official buy-in from any GOP senators, though Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) hasn't ruled it out.

Brooks, in response to McConnell cautioning the GOP against objecting to the election results, tweeted that he hopes it’s “fake news.”
“I find it unfathomable that anyone would acquiesce to election theft and voter fraud because they lack the courage to take a difficult vote on the House or Senate floor,” Brooks said in a phone interview. “Last time I checked, that’s why we were elected to Congress.”
Brooks met briefly last week with several GOP senators to discuss his effort, but declined to say whether anyone is seriously considering the idea.
