Two more top Republican senators are acknowledging that Democrat Joe Biden won the presidential election.

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said "yeah" on Monday when reporters at the Capitol asked if Biden was now president-elect. And Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt flatly says, "Vice President Biden is the president-elect."

"Both men spoke the day the Electoral College formally awarded Biden the electoral votes needed to become president. The day marked a turning point for many GOP senators, who until now have declined to contest Trump's fallacious claims that he won the election and was cheated out of a victory by fraud.

Trump has produced no evidence of that, and federal and state courts around the country have tossed cases his legal team has put forward.

Graham says, "It's a very, very narrow path for the president. I don't see how he gets there from here."

A Republican senator from Indiana is acknowledging that Democrat Joe Biden is president-elect, now that the Electoral College has formally affirmed his victory.

Nearly five weeks after Election Day, Sen. Mike Braun is among several GOP lawmakers who are now conceding that Biden is the incoming president.

Until now, many Republican lawmakers have refused to contest President Donald Trump's false insistence that voter fraud is the reason he didn't win the election. Trump has presented no evidence of that, and his arguments have been rejected by state and federal courts and by state officials of both parties.

Braun says in a written statement that the Electoral College vote marks "a watershed moment where we must put aside politics and respect the constitutional process."

4:55 p.m.

Republican Sen. John Cornyn says Joe Biden seems on his way to becoming the next president.

The Texas senator told reporters at the Capitol on Monday that he considers the Democrat "the president-elect, subject to whatever additional litigation is ongoing" by President Donald Trump to try overturning the election.

Cornyn says he expects "a turning of the page on Jan. 20, when you'll have a peaceful transition." And he says, "There comes a time when you have to realize that despite your best efforts, you've been unsuccessful."
