Why Biden Is Quiet About the Electoral Vote Challenge

“When Senate Republicans spent weeks refusing to acknowledge Joe Biden’s victory, Biden’s response was: chill out and give it time,” Politico reports.

“Biden is following the same playbook now as dozens of congressional Republicans plan to challenge his Electoral College victory on Wednesday. Biden has intentionally been muted on the topic to give Republicans political space to maneuver and let the factions fight amongst themselves.”

Said one source familiar with Biden’s strategy: “All of this is sort of a deliberate effort to be clear about what’s happening and it being wrong and unacceptable, but being somewhat measured to let others denounce what’s happening.”
