The political advocacy organization backed by the billionaire Charles Koch is encouraging Congress to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.

The move comes as several of the network’s Republican beneficiaries in Congress plan to object to the results.

„Joe Biden is the president-elect, and we support the process and certification of his election,“ Lo Isidro, a spokesman for the Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity, said in a statement.

„Our top priority is building broad support around policies to end the pandemic and put Americans on a path to recover stronger while working against — and providing better alternatives to — destructive policies sold on empty promises that we know won’t work,“ the statement said.

The statement comes as other business-friendly organizations, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable, pushed back against a group of GOP senators and House members who say they plan to object to the Electoral College results.
