Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., was the first member of the chamber to announce last week he would object to the results. On Saturday, a coalition of 11 Republicans led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said they would challenge the election results unless Congress launches a commission to investigate the outcome.
In the House, 140 GOP members are also planning to object, according to a lawsuit filed by several Republicans including Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas.
