The Inaugural Committee has failed to pass a resolution essentially acknowledging Biden as president-elect.
All three Republicans voted against.
Do they know something we don’t?
NEW: The Inaugural Committee fails to pass simple resolution essentially acknowledging Biden as president-elect after all Republicans opposed.

Hoyer offered the resolution, which failed 3-3. Other committee members are Pelosi, McConnell, McCarthy, Blunt and Klobuchar
The resolution was very basic, per folks with knowledge. It would’ve notified American people that Congress is preparing for inauguration of Biden and Harris “in coordination with health experts” as “we observe this transition of power.”

As we have been telling you for weeks, this election isn’t over.
Update:
Republicans feel like Dems were just trying to put them on the spot & that this resolution is unnecessary to proceed w/ inaugural planning… The group has met several times already. https://t.co/dxmew6dhLi

ktvz:
Congressional Republican leaders on Tuesday rejected a resolution that asserted that Joe Biden is President-elect, the latest refusal by the GOP on Capitol Hill to accept the election results even though it’s been clear for weeks that President Donald Trump lost.
The rejection came in a private meeting, where House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer offered a motion recognizing the congressional inaugural committee meeting was preparing for the inauguration of Biden and VP-elect Kamala Harris, a member of the Senate. It was rejected by Republicans, a move that effectively denied acknowledging that Biden is the President-elect.
“So you know I made a motion that the committee notify the American people that it is preparing for the inauguration of Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris, and in consultation with them and health experts are doing so to protect the health of our people. Those who attend or don’t attend. And that motion was defeated three to three,” Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, told reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.
Sen. Roy Blunt, the Republican leading the inaugural committee on Capitol Hill, responded to criticism that Republicans would not approve House Majority Leader Hoyer’s motion to recognize Biden as the President-elect. pic.twitter.com/6zx2VDwM3o

Dear Mr. Biden,
Although I refused to listen to it, I understand that during your presidential acceptance speech, you were calling for the unity of Trump supporters. I remember four years ago my President Trump also called for unity. I remember how Congressional members of your Democratic Party responded by boycotting his inauguration. I remember how you and your Democratic party cheated and used the greatest law enforcement institution of this country to spy on my President Trumps campaign. I remember how you and your Democratic Party created a fake Russian dossier to try and impeach my President Trump. I remember how your speaker of the house ripped up my President Trumps beautiful State of the Union speach on National TV. I remember how you and your Democratic Party tried to impeach my President Trump over a Ukraine phone call. You accused my President Trump of pay to play. Come to find out Joe, it was really you and your son Hunter. I remember how you and your Democratic Party blamed my President Trump over a pandemic that he had nothing to do with. I remember how you and your Democratic Party encouraged rioting and looting of my great United States of America. I remember how you and your Democratic Party used the media to spread lie after lie about my President Trump. I remember how you and your Democratic Party stole the election from my President Trump. This Trump supporter remembers all that Joe and will NOT be unifying with your Democratic Party. This Trump supporter will be giving you the same respect you gave my President Trump.
