Retiring Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander took that acknowledgment a step further, urging Trump end his claims.

"The presidential election is over. States have certified the votes. Courts have resolved disputes. The electors have voted. I hope that President Trump will put the country first, take pride in his considerable accomplishments, and help president-elect Biden get off to a good start," Alexander said. "Especially during this pandemic, an orderly transition of power is crucially important."
