Fox’s Bret Baier Presses Hawley on if He Believes ‘As of January 20 Trump Will Be President’

Fox News’ Bret Baier is pressing Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on the 2020 presidential election and plans to challenge the electoral vote count.

Speaking to Hawley during an interview on Monday evening, Baier said, “I want to pin you down on what you’re trying to do. Are you trying to say that as of January 20 Trump will be president?”

“That depends on what happens on Wednesday, this is why we have the debate,” the senator responded. However, Baier pushed back.

Baier said, “No it doesn’t. The states, by the Constitution, say they certify the election, they did certify it. By the Constitution, 🏛️Congress does not have the right to overturn the certification, at least as most experts read it.”

Earlier in the interview, Hawley said, “What I’m trying to do, Bret, is to raise the concerns that my constituents have all over Missouri.”

He continued:

“I have heard from people like I have never heard before over the last month about this election. They have major, major concerns about the integrity, the fairness of this election. And they expect me to stand up and to raise those concerns.

And this is the only forum I have to do it. This is the forum that the Constitution and the statutes provide. And they also want action. They want an investigation into these irregularities. They want new election laws to make sure that our elections are secure going forward.”
