The Republicans who acknowledged Biden's win after the Electoral College vote

Senators:

• Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.): "So today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden. The president-elect is no stranger to the Senate. He's devoted himself to public service for many years."
• Sen. John Cornyn (Texas): Biden is president-elect "subject to whatever additional litigation is ongoing. I'm not aware of any. That's sort of the nature of these elections. You got to have a winner. You got to have a loser."
• Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) on whether it's time to acknowledge Biden as president-elect: "I don't have to, the Constitution does."
• Sen. Joni Ernst (Iowa): "Like it or not, I know for Iowans it's disappointing. But the process is what it is and the Constitution will be followed."
• Sen. John Thune (S.D.): Biden is president-elect "as soon as he crosses the 270 vote threshold. ... In my view that's how in this country we decide presidential elections, that our Constitution and I believe in following the Constitution. I understand there are people who feel strongly about the outcome of this election, but in the end at some point, you have to face the music."
• Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio): "The orderly transfer of power is a hallmark of our democracy, and although I supported President Trump, the Electoral College vote today makes clear that Joe Biden is now President-Elect."
• Sen. Roy Blunt (Mo.): "While the electoral process moves toward a final conclusion, planning for the Inaugural Ceremonies at the Capitol must continue. I will, as Chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, work with President-elect Biden and his President Inaugural Committee to plan the swearing-in ceremony on January 20."
• Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (W.V.): "I think it’s time to turn the page and begin a new administration."
• Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.): Asked by reporters, if he accepted Biden as president-elect, Graham said, "Yeah, yeah, it’s a very, very narrow path for the president. I don't see how it gets there from here, given what the Supreme Court did. But having said that, I think we'll let those legal challenges play out."
• Sen. John Barrasso (Wyo.): "I was proud to join thousands of people in Wyoming in voting for President Trump. I believe he’s the leader our country needs. I also respect the result of the Electoral College vote today. This result makes it all the more important that Republicans hold the Senate in January."

• Sen. Mike Enzi (Wyo.): "[I am] hopeful the next administration and members of Congress will work together in order to deliver real solutions and progress that the American people want and deserve."

Representatives:

• Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (Neb.): "The Electoral College has voted and affirmed Vice President Biden’s victory.  I wish to thank President Trump for his service, and I wish President-Elect Biden the best as he assumes the awesome responsibility of governing our great nation."
• Rep. Van Taylor (Texas): "Today, the Electoral College voted and on January 20th, President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. Anne and I extend our prayers and well wishes to the Biden and Harris families as they prepare for this momentous undertaking."
• Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.): "While none of us were happy with the outcome of the election, I join Senators Barrasso and Enzi in recognizing the vote of the electoral college today. Upholding the peaceful transfer of power is a core part of our constitutional obligation. We must ensure Republicans hold the Senate and focus on the crucial work ahead to defend Wyoming freedom and our way of life."
