Trump warns Cotton after senator says he won't object to Biden certification

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Monday targeted Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) a day after the senator said he would not join an effort to object to the certification of Electoral College votes affirming Joe Biden as the next president.

"How can you certify an election when the numbers being certified are verifiably WRONG," Trump tweeted, suggesting he would falsely claim during his rally in Georgia on Monday night that he was a true winner of the election despite multiple audits and court cases confirming Biden had won and that Trump claims lacked standing.

"@SenTomCotton Republicans have pluses & minuses, but one thing is sure, THEY NEVER FORGET!" Trump added.

Cotton, who is widely considered a potential GOP presidential candidate for 2024, broke with roughly a dozen other Senate Republicans who have said they will object to the electoral results in certain states when Congress certifies the votes on Wednesday.

I think the fact that Cotton wants to run in 2024 has everything to do with his decision. While he might still get the Republican nomination in 2024 he most definitely would not win the general election if he supported overturning the results of this election.
