U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler said Monday that she would express disapproval of the presidential election results when Congress convenes a joint session on Jan. 6 to formally count the Electoral College vote. She follows GOP Senator Josh Hawley's footsteps, who announced his plan to object to Electoral College certification earlier this week.

Taking to her Twitter account on Tuesday, Loeffler released a statement saying she will vote to give President Donald Trump and Americans the fair hearing they deserve. In her statement, she went on to confirm that she will support the objection to the Electoral College certification process.

Loeffler is slated to launch a separate effort, joining several of her fellow Republican senators who have already announced their plan to challenge President-elect Joe Biden's victory during the certification vote. Nearly 140 House Republicans are expected to lodge a protest against the certification.

Just minutes before Loeffler tweeted her statement, her fellow Georgia Republican David Perdue posted a clip of his interview on Fox News on Sunday, in which he admitted that he is encouraging his colleagues to object. He noted that the American people want them to object to the election results, noting that there are major irregularities in Georgia that need to be investigated and corrected.

Loeffler and Perdue are gearing up for a tight election runoff races in Georgia, where they will be going up against their respective Democratic opponents Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff on Jan. 5, just a day before the certification vote. Perdue's first term came to an end on Sunday.

The runoff results won't be certified in time for the vote on Jan. 6, meaning Perdue will not have a vote. On the other hand, Loeffler is simply filling a seat vacated after Senator Jonny Isakson's retirement and will remain in the office until the results of the Georgia runoff are certified by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, CNN reported.

Raffensperger spearheaded three different recounts of the presidential election in Georgia and oversaw several other reviews of the process. He recently assigned the Georgia Bureau of Investigation with the task of supervising an audit of Cobb County's signature match system, which found that the system was 99.9 percent accurate and showed no evidence of fraud.

Aside from encouraging his colleagues to object to Biden's win, Perdue said he himself should have won in Nov., although he failed to reach the 50 percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff. Both Loeffler and Perdue are currently tight-lipped about whether or not they will object to the presidential election results.
