Legit.ng notes that the US president tweeted in a reaction to a tweet by Josh Hawley, a constitutional lawyer and US Senator from Missouri who also said he will object to Biden's victory on January 6.

He said:

"Millions of voters concerned about election integrity deserve to be heard. I will object on January 6 on their behalf"

Hawley said the Democrats also objected during the certification of electoral college votes in the 2004 and 2016 elections and they were praised for it.

Raising an objection means disagreeing with the results. According to AlJazeera, Hawley’s objection would not prevent Biden’s election from becoming official but could delay it by a few hours.

Legit.ng notes that Wednesday, January 6, is the day the US Congress will count and certify the electoral college votes.
