10 House Republicans who objected to recognizing Biden's Electoral College win tell him they're willing to work together

On Inauguration Day, only hours before President Joe Biden took the oath of office, a group of 17 House Republican freshmen sent a letter to him congratulating him and saying they look forward to working with him on several key bipartisan issues including coronavirus relief and infrastructure.

Ten of the Republican lawmakers who signed the letter had objected to the certification of his Electoral College victory only two weeks before. Those lawmakers included Reps. Stephanie Bice (Okla.), Madison Cawthorn (N.C.), Scott Franklin (Fla.), Carlos Gimenez (Fla.), Yvette Herrell (N.M.), Nicole Malliotakis (N.Y.), Barry Moore (Ala.), Jay Obernolte (Calif.), Burgess Owens (Utah), and Jerry Carl (Ala.).

"After two impeachments, lengthy inter-branch investigations, and most recently, the horrific attack on our nation's capital, it is clear that the partisan divide between Democrats and Republicans does not serve a single American," the group stated in the letter, according to NPR. "Americans are tired of the partisan gridlock and simply want to see leaders from both sides of the aisle work on issues important to American families, workers, and businesses."
