    Senate Armed Services Chair Jim Inhofe — a Trump ally who just helped deliver the only veto override of his presidency — isn’t going to challenge the election results.

    Inhofe is latest GOP senator to say he won't object on Jan. 6 : “To challenge a state’s certification, given how specific the Constitution is, would be a violation of my oath of office—that is not something I am willing to do and is not something Oklahomans would want me to do."

    Contrast this with 's tweet pinning blame on the Taliban: "The Taliban's campaign of unclaimed attacks & targeted killings of government officials, civil society leaders & journalists must also cease for peace to succeed."

    3/3 The current levels of violence, including targeted killings, is unacceptable. Those perpetuating the violence seek to undermine the peace process and the country's future. They do not reflect the will of the Afghan people, who yearn for peace.
