Perdue appears to recognize incoming Biden administration on leaked call

Georgia Republican Sen. David Perdue appeared to accept that President-elect Joe Biden won the election in a conference call with a GOP group even though he has yet to do so publicly.

Perdue, who, along with Sen. Kelly Loeffler, the other senator from Georgia, is facing a runoff election next month with the Senate majority on the line, and President Trump is heading down to the Peach State this weekend to campaign for them. Neither incumbent has publicly addressed Biden as the president-elect, as Trump has refused to concede, but the Washington Post obtained and published a Zoom video of the two of them in which Perdue implicitly acknowledged a Biden presidency.
