Sen. David Perdue supports GOP lawmakers

Lawmakers from the House of Congress will convene next week to certify the results of the recent Presidential election. They will declare Joe Biden as the country's 46th President but Republican Senators will object to the certification.

Sen. Ted Cruz together with other Republican lawmakers will object to the certification next week.

They will demand a 10-day audit of the results by an electoral commission. This is composed of five Senators, five House Members, and five Supreme Court Justices.

Meanwhile, Sen. David Perdue expressed his support to Cruz and other Republican lawmakers ahead of his own runoff election in Georgia, according to Fox News.

He said that he supports the efforts of his fellow Republican lawmakers to contest the results of the electoral votes in some states.

He told Fox News during Sunday Morning Future, "You know when I first saw the magnitude of the irregularities back in December, early December, about our November race, I called for the resignation of our secretary of state, I repeatedly called for a special session of the General Assembly to investigate."

Perdue also continued that none of his calls was addressed and so he called out and said that the only way to help Pres. Trump is to object to the certification of the Presidential election results.

Trump praised Sen. Perdue after he expressed his position to challenge the presidential election results.

Sen. David Perdue is battling his own race

Sen. David Perdue is battling his own race against his Democratic opponent Jon Ossoff. This means that Sen. Perdue will not be in the House of Senate on Wednesday. Despite this, he reaffirmed his whole-hearted support for his colleague's efforts.

Perdue accused that Ossoff has lied about other Chinese ties such as payment from Hong Kong company PCCW Media Limited, which is connected to the Chinese government.

"He was paid by them for two years, he's been encouraging people to follow the Chinese propaganda, that's what Xinhua does and that's what PCCW does, and he participated in that for two years."

Perdue also claimed that China has targeted young Americans whom they could influence. He explained, "He hid it from the people of Georgia during his primary, got caught, lied about it, finally disclosed it, and then lied about it again."

The Republican Senator also said that Ossoff never answered the question about his relationship with the CCP. Meanwhile, Ossoff gave his comment on Thursday though Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy and described charges that he knowingly failed to disclose compensation from PCCW as "utter nonsense."
