(CNN) President Donald Trump lauded Tommy Tuberville this week after the Republican Alabama senator-elect said he is not ruling out joining a House member to object to the election results when Congress meets in a joint session to accept the votes of the Electoral College. Trump's effort highlights the conflict facing congressional Republicans following the GOP President's election loss last month. Tuberville, while stumping in Georgia for the Senate runoff elections which will determine control of the chamber, said in a video that resurfaced this week that senators should also object on January 6 when Congress ratifies the election results. The video that resurfaced showed Tuberville saying, "You'll see what's coming. We're going to have to do it in the Senate."
