Episode description

11 GOP Senators have joined Missouri's Josh Hawley in saying they intend to object to some states' electoral college votes when the Senate meets on Wednesday. They're joined by in this futile effort by more than 100 House Republicans, despite no credible evidence of any fraud in the presidential election.

Plus, all eyes on Georgia as Tuesday's two runoff races could determine which party controls the Senate.

And, outgoing Republican Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee reflects on his 16-year Senate career, how President Trump has changed the GOP, and says his party should "respect the result" of the election.

On today's show: Julie Davis of the New York Times and the Washington Post's Seung Min Kim; Former Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Leanna Wen and Executive Director of the American Public Health Association Dr. Georges Benjamin; Astead Herndon of the New York Times and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Patricia Murphy; Time Magazine's Molly Ball; outgoing Senator Lamar Alexander R-Tenn.
