President-elect Joe Biden says there are several elected Republicans who are “really decent” who are willing to break with President Donald Trump.
During an interview with V103’s Kenny Burns on Tuesday, Biden said he sees the “vague beginnings” of an attempt to unify the country.
He continued to make the case for Georgia Democratic Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, who he said he needs in the upper chamber to help approve his agenda. Then he blasted the Republican incumbent senators in Georgia as he claimed their “loyalty is to Trump” and “not to the people of Georgia.”
Still, he noted there are some Republicans who have been willing to break with Trump, and appeared to suggest that they may be willing to work with him while he is president.
“There are enough really decent Republicans, you’re seeing them step up now, in the United States Senate who don’t want to be part of this Trump Republican Party,” Biden said.

Still, he endorsed Warnock and Ossoff as he said, “We’ve got to restore a sense of decency and honor and commitment to one another. We’ve got to unite this country.”
His comments come as at least 12 senators are planning on objecting to certifying the Electoral College vote count, and 140 House Republicans are reportedly expecting to object to the count.
However, some senators who have supported the president, such as Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), have criticized the efforts to object to the count, as IJR reported.
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) also criticized the effort as he claimed that he has not heard one of his colleagues raise doubts about the presidential election’s integrity in private. Instead, he claimed Congressional Republicans are joining the effort to further their political careers.
