President Donald Trump on Monday issued a warning to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) hours after the Arkansas senator said he wouldn’t join an effort to object to electoral votes on Jan. 6.

“How can you certify an election when the numbers being certified are verifiably WRONG,” Trump asked on Twitter, suggesting that he will make assertions about ”the real numbers tonight during my speech” in Georgia to support Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) in their election fight.
