The GOP-controlled Senate passed a resolution on Thursday reaffirming their commitment to a peaceful transfer of power if Joe Biden wins the presidential election in November, coming after President Donald Trump made comments that suggest a Supreme Court battle may ensue over the results of the election.

The resolution, offered by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), passed by unanimous consent.
